Get the patch to the maintainer.

The owners/maintainers? Seriously, that's who I see as responsible for
that.


A general warning on the Products page indicating that due to tighter
security, osm eolder products may not work well, if at all, with the new
2.2, followed by the mainainer indicating if they have tested/fixed,
will/will-not support it on 2.2, etc. Should be fine, IMO.
