I believe your code does the right thing and I intend to merge it. Thanks a
lot!

When it flushes the packetlist, there's a risk that there are pending packets
about to arrive for which the corresponding requests now get removed, but
that's not a problem but will only cause some surplus packets to linger around
in the sftp session handle until killed. There's possibly a way to optimize
for how long they linger and when they can be garbage collected.

I think there's also room for improving how to seek forwards that could avoid
discarding all data already read, but that's "just" optimizing.
