Why would you try?

I think most work with a stable version, then rebase to a late rc
release where things are relatively stable and do your final testing.
Then submit it to a maintainer so they can get it into the next merge
window.

Thus most of your submissions to a maintainer should come at the end
of a rc series, not during the highly crazy merge window.  That window
is more for the maintainers to push collections of patches to Linus.
Then there is a month or two to work and any issues that crop up due
to conflicting patches pushed during the merge and it all starts over
again.
