I haven’t found a link to my patch upstream. Bug reports for sshguard go to a moderated email list and the archive linked to from their web site shows no posts since late 2013. I got an auto-response that my submission was awaiting moderation, but I don’t see any public view of it.

http://www.sshguard.net/support/ has a link called “mailing list archives” to here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=sshguard-users

which is where I would expect to see my submission. But there’s nothing from 2014 there for some reason.
