The problem is that libcamera-dev is subscription-based too, so people
who are not subscribed get a "pending-approval" message, which is not
very interesting...

Well, the goal of the DEVELOPERS file is that someone-not-you update the
package, they do Cc you. For example, with your patch applied, run:

    ./utils/get-developers -p libcamera

Or:

    git show |./get-developers -

which will reprt you as the person to Cc on patches touching the
libcamera package.
