Hm. The whole "On the other hand, due to".. felt a bit clunky from 
the start, maybe that's the problem? Is this better?

 Generally speaking, the patches get triaged quickly (in less than
 48h). But be patient, if your patch is active in patchwork (i.e. it's
 listed on the project's patch list) the chances it was missed are close to zero.
