Fork it so that both you, Asterisk and others can benefit?
Better than putting the load on distributions.

Well, I know nothing of pjsip and its upstreams but I'm guessing that
they might start being more receptive to patches if Asterisk starts
using them and pushing them fixes. If there's no prespective of that,
then this should count as a point against it as an option.
