xserver and splitting ultra-wide monitors

Hello xorg developers,

sorry to ask this again but I did not receive any response yet. I have 
created a patch for xorg to allow multiple virtual monitors on one 
display: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/981. This 
allows to properly set up a split-screen environment on an ultra-wide 
screen. Along with a small gtk3 patch, it works very well e.g. on xfce.

There is a discussion on 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2013#note_1564376 where 
multiple users confirm that it works as expected. I'm also using it 
daily on my workstation.

What must be done that the patch can be merged into xorg?

Kind regards,

Michael.
