Well, I offer this patch under the GPL, so anyone (including you) can do it.

But I would like to be able to submit further patches without "adult

Can you please be more specific? What purpose does this exclusion
serve, that would be realistically achieved otherwise? You already
have a GPL license from the author, and a way to contact and uniquely
identify the author.
