Thanks.
I cannot apply it on top of master however. On what commit did you base
it?
There are also some nits, but I can fix them when applying your patch.

This is not related to your patch (it can be encountered elsewhere), but
the index entry above is too generic to be useful. Maybe
#+cindex: @samp{ATTR_LATEX}, in quote blocks
would be better.

This should be #+vindex: ...

~org-latex-default-quote-environment~ and ~"quote"~ since they both
refer to Lisp code, not Org syntax.

Note that you can currently write, perhaps more elegantly,
#+begin_quotation
some text...
#+end_quotation

I don't know if this example is a good illustration because you can
currently achieve the same with:
#+attr_latex: :options {german}
#+begin_foreigndisplayquote
some text in German...
#+end_foreigndisplayquote
Are there use cases that would be better than using special blocks as in
the example above?
