Fairphone 2 (FP2) workaround

People are saying here that we could donate to Lineage or XDA forum to work on /e/ maintenance instead of /e/ developers. and this donation could be targetet to a specific model, like the FP2.
From what I read above, as we speak, neither /e/ nor Lineage have had their Nougat version fixed with the Fairphone patch for this issue. But Lineage developers have experience with it because it is fixed on their Oreo version.
@PNJ88_Beast, @archie, I see that the FP2 LineageOS maintainer is nicknamed ‘chrmhoffmann’. Should we contact him and how?
