"As I understand, your patch hasn't been accepted/merged into the main tree yet.
Why don't you apply the bugfix in your tree and resubmit the patch?"

1) MDEV-6709 is a related but separate issue from my FORCE patch, applying to
MDEV-356 and others. I think it should be a separate patch.

2) What would you like me to do next to get my original patch accepted?

3) Who is the current maintainer for views? I feel that the view features
are only 50% implemented in MariaDB and need some design effort.

Thanks, James Briggs.
