As said during our live discussion, I am not a big fan of using
multiprocess instead of multiprocessing. multiprocessing is in the
Python standard library, while multiprocess is an external module that
isn't even packaged in Fedora. Considering that the main (only?) reason
for using multiprocess over multiprocessing is simply to improve the
script logging, I don't think it's worth it.

I've however applied this particular patch, that is independent.

The other 4 patches are marked as Changes Requested.

Thanks!
