We send them to mainline and stable then it is up to the distributions
concerned to choose to apply them. Sometimes it helps to give the
distribution(s) concerned a gentle prod and ask if they've noticed the
patch(es) and if/when they'll be taking them.

Various aspects of the design are being debated. Expect to see progress
to start to appear on lvm-devel over the next few weeks. We're
hopeful we'll have something that's beginning to be useful in January.
