The developer of the patch submitted to any OE branch (oe-core, meta-oe, 
...) should add the appropriate Upstream-Status entry.

See: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines

We had a big push within the OE-Core team to try and determine if 
patches are appropriate for upstream or not.

In some cases yes we might be doing that, particularly patches that 
seemed to be specific to the OE cross compilation environment or to deal 
with packaging with in the embedded space where marked as Inappropriate. 
  Once we get though round one of the obvious potential upstream-able 
patches we can revisit other.

If the author of curl would like to review and/or implement modification 
for OE that would be awesome, feel free to share the patches with them.

Sau!
