I haven't done libnickel or the new patches yet (I will soon do the ones I use, see my kobopatch config).

As for adopting patches, I'm planning to rewrite or deprecate Oren's patches, but most will be rewritten. The issue with them are they were just simple ports rewriting the whole stream, which isn't really feasible to update easily, and is quite fragile. I'm rewriting them to use the relatively new ReplaceZlibGroup instruction (it counters compression issues with many small replacements). I'm also adding comments and support for the newer language changes and a few device-related changes. For an example of this, see the rewritten kepub progress chart patch (it's now at the bottom of src/versions/4.16.13337/libnickel.so.1.0.0/geek1011.yaml).

As for the patches which will be deprecated or rewritten (so far), see src/version/4.16.13337/patches.md on GitHub.
Is it going to be possible to change the footer text size and the space used for the footer? I like to have the footer smaller and close to the bottom of the screen.
