My personal view is that we can only accept code contributions from
the original author, in general. There have been exceptions in the
past, when we have shipped a wrapper for a library along with the
source code of the library, however, there should be a very good reason
for that, e.g. that the functionality in the library is unique.

In the specific case, I do believe it would be better to write
a pty module from scratch instead of adjusting openssh code.
