How long for bug fixes to be merged into the kernel?

I am curious how long it takes for bug fixes to be merged into the kernel? I added two patches for my device IDs on bugzilla a couple of months ago or so, and I wonder when will they get incorporated. There's nothing simpler than that, so why can't it just be dealt with quickly?

What is phabricator? I read somewhere it's faster for bugs. I am so confused why there are two places for bugs or features.

What's the best way to do these things?
 
Possibly noone noticed these PRs have device to confirm.

Anyway, (basically) 2 weeks maintainer timeout is over for both.
Any committer interested in it can test and commit them.

You can look for committers at freebsd-ports ML. At least more luck to post here forums.

And one way to address what Ed Maste noted on Comment 1 of the latter would be to open review on Phabricator with sufficient info (at minimum, your email address and name) registered in your profile.

You can read how-tos here. You don't need installing command line client if you don't want. See section 3.3 for details. I'm on this way.
Having devel/git to manage your src tree would be the minimal requirement.
git diff -U999999 at /usr/src would be your friend to generate required patch. (If you don't want committing your change in your cloned local repo and any additions of files / directories exist, need different way.)
