According to comment 10 (2021-01-19) in the bug the primary blocker is

  Please split into topic patches. At least separate options
  refactoring, new options (vulkan) and 2.0.14 update.

This is important for review and regression tracking. For example,
some changes maybe suboptimal or introduce bugs but are part of
the refactoring thus unrelated to the update.

devel/sdl20 maintainer also maintains a lot of its consumers, so may
want to test runtime more carefully. However, this could have been done
during the time the draft was available.

emulators/yuzu/files/patch-sdl2 shows how to support SDL 2.0.12 without
blocking updates.
