In fact "we" are maintaining an downstream-fork (or better call it 
"overlay") upon the upstream releases. So ctng-built toolchains don't 
use official uclibc, but ctng-uclibc. At that point we have the rebase
operation as a central item ...

That's a common problem to all distros and package maintainers.
For the OSS-QM project, I'm thinking of ways to automatically 
inform the upstream (eg. by a post-update hook in the git repos).
