I was not aware of this. What I normally do is to create a branch of the
original project, make the necessary changes until it builds and then
place a submitreq to have my changes incorporated.

Already done :-) As described above, this is the standard way how I make
the updates.

As indicated I created a link to the hplip package in Factory and
started from there. This way I can test which patches should still
remain, which needs adjustments and which can be removed.

The question only is where to announce that there is a newer build for
hplip ? I will definitely place a message on the factory mailing list,
but I assume that users of the previous openSUSE versions will not read
this mailing list
