Just a short reply: The patches will never be included @rpm5.org as is because you missed the abstraction (for packaging) and haven't tied various stray identifiers as in Type: mls targeted to anything concrete.
There are other and deeper flaws within the highly unnormalized data within the *.bz2 policy blobs.
Equivalent functionality will be done @rpm5.org instead.
