I just looked at your patch a little more carefully, and must reject it.
You conflict on the definition of vt200 which is already defined....
I reject the patch because of conflicting termcaps with vt200,
vt200-nam, dec vt200.
I think that dec-vt200 should be added to the current line and a
separate entry made for vt220 if it warrants it.
I don't think you guys checked out the file carefully enough.
Before accepting it, understand the exact differences of definitions of
vt100p vs vt100-am.
Sorry to be blunt, but I think you have an error. (Copying the line from
the BSD termcap and which has different terminal defs for vt100p and
vt100-am causes me serious consternation. If you want to add the vt220
entries to the end of the line, I'll accept that since a vt220 is a
vt100 with extra features you won't support.
Your patch has:
+ da|vt200|vt200-nam|dec vt200|dec-vt200|vt220|vt200-js|vt220-js|dec vt200 serieswith jump scroll:\
