[Buildroot] Requesting libvte

[Biz.122]

Ok, as you correctly assumed I am a newb to open-source contributions - hence my unintended ignorant suggestion.
I took a look at the list again, and it seems as if someone was unexpectedly quick on his feet:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2018-January/211713.html

Should I attempt to make a patch for this or leave it to him?

Best Regards,
Eric
