Comment 4 for bug 1413149

I reviewed the Ubuntu kernel team e-mail thread.
I do not understand why the bug patch submitted upstream on November 6th seems to have stalled.
I did observe that there wasn't an "ACK", that I could find.
So I wondered of the patch had been modified or another solution was found.
Is there any way to check the status of upstream patch requests?
(by the way, I asked these same questions on IRC, but it was suggest by apw that this bug report submission was the preferred way to proceed.)
