Zdenek have kind of question: why there are so many patches in the hplip package?

Is it any problem with accepting Fedora patches by source tree maintainer?

    Yes, it is - HP upstream is unresponsive in most bugfix cases.

Is there any git or other VCS repo with source tree? (I don't see it on launchpad)

Unfortunately, there isn't. HP's vision of open source is releasing source tarball, not sharing any github/CVS repo for hplip.

My predecessors - twaugh and jpopelka - started a github repo for hplip to track at least changes between releases, and I keep it up to date - https://github.com/zdohnal/hplip .

There were considerations whether to fork the project, merge the patches and have it like that, but it would cut us off from new drivers, which come from HP, because they have access to HW.
