I was told that the functionality I added was "too complex", and that the 
most they'd accept was a bitfield (as opposed to my ordered list). As that 
was useless for my needs, I gave up on it ever being added to the mainline 
OpenSSH code. Once I left the employer that I had developed it for, I 
stopped maintaining the code.

Good luck convincing the Cabal that it serves a useful purpose - I 
couldn't, and I'm unwilling to take on the burden of maintaining a forked 
project.
