I have data on roughly a year worth of linux-next and mainline releases.
I might try to see if I can extract from it things like:
- how often this (ie, pre merged drivers) happens;
- how long it takes for those issue to disappear; and
- what made these issue disappear (that might be hard, because it
  probably requires cross checking my (incomplete) mail archive.)

This will take quite some time, I'm afraid. Provided it actually works,
that is.

False positives is a bit ambiguous here. I don't think we often, if
ever, sent out notifications that were flat out wrong. But yes, some
issues can be expected to get resolved given a bit of time. The hard
part is knowing beforehand which issues will be resolved quickly and
which won't.

Thanks,
