Bug 2950 - moving forward

The patch attached to https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2950
applies to the current portable OpenSSH source.

How can I help get the patch in that bug applied?

I'm starting to hear rumblings about storing authentication tokens on
persistent filesystems (like /tmp, when it isn't tmpfs).  The patch
itself is fairly tiny, but would pay off for ensuring any forwarded
credentials are destroyed on reboot and not waiting on disk for someone
with rescue media to borrow.
