Junio sends out a periodic "What's cooking" email summarizing the state of patches sent to the list. The most recent one is here [1]. A patch series may be annotated with "will merge to next" (meaning he thinks it's stable and probably ready to expose to a wider audience), "waiting for review" (meaning not enough people have shown interest to look it over), "waiting for a re-roll" (meaning he expects a new version). Other annotations are possible. If a patch series isn't annotated, it means he hasn't made any decision about it yet. Also, if your patch series is not in "What's cooking", it may mean that Junio just hasn't gotten around to your submission yet, and there is a good chance it will be in the following "What's cooking". If, however, a couple weeks or more elapse and your submission doesn't show up, then it may have gotten lost in the noise, in which case it's a good idea to send a "ping" as a reminder.
