Correct, but Christian has not responded in any way despite me sending
him the patch that I'd like tested, which is very disappointing.

This is what I fear - that merging his patch removes the incentive to
test my patch. Oh well, I guess I will just send my patch that I can't
test to be merged anyway, and to hell with it. If it breaks this and
other modules, I'm sure someone will eventually send a report about
that.
