in the past, we've been a bit wary about supporting such devices because
PVE is quite write intensive on /, and many such devices quickly wear
out and fail..
I think there are more stable eMMC options around nowadays, so maybe we
could include such a patch if it also adds a warning that this might be
dangerous depending on the concrete hardware that is used?
in general, you can find information on how to contribute patches to any
of our projects here:

in particular, the CLA part at the bottom is an important pre-requisite!
thanks,
Fabian
