Its a little too late for that, as a freetype1 with those in the ChangeLog is
already in rawhide. I did add "(where applicable)" to the changelog to indicate
not all of the mentioned issues where relevant for freetype1.

Ok.

I don't believe anyone is offering rebuild freetype1 packages with BCI enabled,
so I considered this issue closed then. If you want I can still do an update,
esp. since the new freetype1 is already build in bodhi for F-8 and F-9.
