So would you have preferred if I had forked another branch that still contained these patches? Such branch can still be added now. Nothing that gets added to the source repository ever becomes unavailable. Re-adding them is fairly easy: they are all in r61179. Going forward, the question would then be if these patches will ever get released. So there could be two branches, one that people can commit arbitrary bug fixes to (which will never be released), and one that gets security patches (which will get released for five years). Of course, I would personally find it fairly confusing to have people commit patches that are explicitly will not be released, and still aren't experimental or private-use.
