I was part of the game translation scene for over ten years and the one thing we usually agreed on was to not distribute pre-patched versions of games. I also basically quit doing these translations because I got tired of assholes selling them on bootlegged carts, instead of using flash carts, which is much more wallet friendly and less prone to giving money to people who destroy perfectly working carts to make a few bucks.
Anyway. Reading the readme file, it seems the creator of the patch might be fine with this being in MAME eventually, and it looks like they took steps to prevent assholes from making pirate carts, so I guess it should be fine if this gets added to MAME.
Sorry for projecting my issues with bootleg cart makers on this post.
