In my understanding the scope of the bug report was not correctly defined when
first created and has been refined later. I also thought that the main point
was about the issue leading to corrupted data (patron with several
non-repeatable attributes). As the severity was "critical" I provided a patch
to fix this specific issue, as small as possible to ease backport into stable
branches.
We improved the code in this area recently and it was easy to develop, I wrote
the patch in about one hour.

The way you want to fix the issue requires a much bigger change, and I agree
with you it will be a nice one to have. However we are one month left before
the release and it's definitely not my job to provide a new enhancement for
this specific need.

That's why I talked about funding, but I should not have and I regret it. My
point was not to tell you "pay to get it", I don't like either when it's the
only answer provided, but this bug report has been opened for a long time
already and it is something you should consider if you really need it.

I will move the patch to a separate bug report and change the status of this
bug report to "new enhancement".
