I don't see any patch in bug #22940, are you sure you attached a patch?

Its using CVS because CVS works OK for the needs of pycairo. I've
thought and migrating to a more fashionable version control system but
I'm not sure its worth the effort.

Freedesktop CVS is not working at the moment, but that's a different
problem. I opened a bug report for it:
