a schedule is not needed, but please give maintainers at least a chance
to react on stable inclusion request.
In this case Martin asked for inclusion on Monday and the patch was applied

As you noted not everyone works full time on the kernel and gets paid for that.
So it might take a few days to react and review such a request.
