Provided you have followed the instructions in 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches, the best approach is to make sure your 
email was addressed to the person maintaining the subsystem or driver 
in question (as well as to the appropriate mailing list, of course), 
and to nudge that person from time to time if he appears to have 
forgotten about you.
