The process is a multi-step one: netfilter patches are sent for 
reviewing/accepting/rejecting to the net maintaners, and after that they 
send the patches to the kernel source maintainers. A single patch is 
rarely picked out to handle differently.

The patch has entered the queue for the stable trees.
