If I may notice, avoiding top posting has already been suggested twice,
IIRC.
I think that various webmails have made top posting popular, and
actually forced people a bit to do that through the way their user
interfaces were laid out, which made inline replies kind of a dying art,
which is really sad to see. It is so much more useful when replies are
posted inline, i.e. right below the contents they refer to.

There is no "rule", but based on observations on how people behave,
e.g.
* for a small patch like this that can be given a good review in 10
minutes or so, those who do not do so within the first 3 days
will probably not do so.
* once a reasonably thorough review is given, those who haven't
responded to the patch and do not have much else to say are
unlikely to respond.
* on the other hand, after such a review is given, those who do not
agree with the review tend to respond rather quickly, to get
their voice in before it becomes too late.
I would say it would be good to start working on it right away and
use a couple of days reviewing it yourself before posting it.
