Even though rsync maintenance isn't as bad as wget's, the maintainers
are all VERY part time so that is a big part of the problem. Most of us
don't have ipv6 systems to test things on. Can you vouch for the quality
of the patch? I was able to get it with
wget --passive
ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6.org/pub/usagi/misc/rsync-2_5_5-v6auth-20021016.patch.gz
and it looks quite extensive.
