That'd be nice ; give him/her my mail if I can be of any help in that process.
In addition, I opened an ITP on Debian :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=797987

Jeremy said linux 4.2 should have everything.
I see it's in experimental but not in unstable ; is that ok to start ?

I saw that on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+queue
