OK.  SO, the problem is that maybe the authors of the patch who have
signed the SCA might not be willing to submit the same patch upstream?

It's not possible for more than one person to submit a particular patch:
only one person can do it.

Anyway, if any suitable patch hasn't been submitted upstream we'll ask the
author.
