As best I understand Red Hat's "upstream first" policy: every patch applied to RHEL X.10 will either be a patch that they import from an upstream project, or (for patches that Red Hat develops) will be offered to the upstream project. They're not held in reserve for RHEL customers exclusively. So, they may not appear in the Stream git repo, but the patches are still publicly available through other channels. If anyone has examples of this not happening, then we can talk about whether the process is working as intended, and what that means.
