I will take it now. But for the next time, and especially for SLE patches, please read https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines That's one more thing I forgot to mention. See for example how the main Python interpreter SPEC file looks like https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/devel:languages:python:Factory/python38/python38.spec?expand=1 With this metadata we know what each patch is about, and when it can be removed.
