This is indeed a common issue and there are different answers for it.

For the layers I am actively acting as commited (meta-fsl-*,
meta-java, meta-browser) I send the email when I do merges. For
meta-qt5 Martin merges the patches for test in the -next branches. If
it is inside it, it is a good chance of it being applied in next
merge, or feedback will be given.
