FYI, the maintainer of gcore is Daisuke (Hatayama-san), so I think he
will review the patch and release a new version of gcore someday, and
then we put it to the crash-extension repository. As for gcore, this
is the way Dave and Hatayama-san have done so far, IIRC.

I've not looked at this yet, but generally we have to try to avoid
using kernel version check as far as possible, because kernel version
is fragile in distribution kernels, e.g. RHEL8 kernels are 4.18.0 but
have many 5.x patches.
