20.02 is not an LTS so there won't be any more releases.

You can send the patches any time, but at this stage they won't be 
pulled in to 20.11. You may help maintainers by creating an account at 
patchwork [1] and marking your patches as "Deferred" once you send them. 
They will be marked as "New" once the development of the new release 
commences.
