I submitted a critical fix for zpaq crashing for aarch64 (arm) 17 days ago

Hello,
I am completely alien to aarch64 however I use a opensuse tumbleweed aarch64 vm for very critical stuff on my Mac Mini m4.
zpaq deals with potentially gigantic archives with deduplicating support and in its current form, once it hits a large archive (30GB+) it crashes. I investigated the crash and it turns out it has JIT which is optimized/coded for X86-64. The fix is disabling JIT. I did a proper patch with neccessary tests with real data (my own) and submitted it. I even bugged the developer and he agreeed that is the way to go with the current source unless someone comes up with a aarch64 JIT in the source.
It has been 17 days with 2 automated reminders, the patch is ignored and zpaq on arm64 still crashes. I am sure some people are having really bad time considering this tool deals with large, personal backups.
Can anyone review this and tell why it was ignored?

@ilgazcl Hi, the package has no Maintainer, Development Project maintainers are busy else where. Not being ignored… Add a comment on the submission.
