"I can't say whether/when GNOME devs will accept this patch upstream, as this bug report (issues/52)  was closed"
Yes, they did not seem to understand the issue in that report, which is now closed. But https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62 is still open, so there's at least some hope that they'll fix it.

"Daniel, the reason I asked you to make a separate PPA is that, your PPA says "Random experiments. Use at own risk."
Yes, that's more of a "disclaimer" than anything. I only put the cheese package in my PPA for testing (and thank you for testing in several environments). I did not envision a lot of people using it. I probably should separate unrelated packages in different PPA's. Maybe when I have some more caffeine.. :)

"I don't know how to submit patches to official packages in Ubuntu/Debian"
See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
I think this qualifies as: Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel).
