Yes it is.  And there is a specific order to when maintainers share
information: when the code lands at k.o (or wherever that maintainer's
official repo is located), the maintainer notifies the author that the
code has been accepted (except Linus, who tends to take pull requests
without response unless there is something wrong with it).  That's the
standard process.  I'm following it.  I didn't get my successful 0day
result on the merged up branch until this morning, at which point I
pushed my branch to k.o, so today is "email everyone and update
patchworks" day.  You had access to my github repo where you could have
clearly seen what I was working on, but I guess you were just too busy
tapping your finger and waiting on an email to check it.  That's your
problem, not mine.  I don't know of any maintainers that email people
about their code while it's still being processed and before it has
officially landed in their repo (unless there are review issues or
build failures that kick it back out), so I don't know why you would
expect different from me, but it's not gonna happen.
