Tangential question: are there currently other streams of Alpine 
developement such that it makes sense to keep maintaining a collection of 
patches?

It seems to me that Eduardo's development stream is pretty much the only 
one that's still active.  I'm not familiar with the code base or Eduardo's 
development style, but it seems like it would be easier to just formally 
integrate all those patches into the main code base (ifdef'd out, if any 
would be breaking for existing non-patched distributions) and call it a 
day?  Or, if for some reason that's not desirable, maybe have a git branch 
with all the patches already applied?

Just a thought.

Thanks again Eduardo for keeping the lights on for Alpine.  It has been my 
sole mailer, for both work and personal, for 25+ years, and I really don't 
want to imagine a world without it.  So thanks for that...

Cheers!
