There is no strict workflow regarding patch statuses on this list.

You can refresh the master-next and master branches of bitbake to know whether it
is merged or not. A patch being on master-next means it is queued up for
testing. If your patch is rejected someone will let you know (but for yours I
don't see any apparent reasons).

Cheers,
Antonin

Hello,

Thanks for your patch :)

Your patch is in the master-next branch :
https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/log/?h=master-next

Which means it has been selected for review and tests. Once those
happen you will either receive a review by mail or see your patch get
merged on master.
Merges usually happen after the patch review calls (which are on
monday and thursday :
https://www.yoctoproject.org/community/get-involved/).
Ping back if nothing happens in a week or so.

While the process description is correct, all of this has already
happened, and the patch landed in master some days ago. Which can be
seen in the link above! It's just that master and master-next are the
same at the moment.

There are no separate notifications for when patches are accepted, you
just need to check the upstream branches, either get the latest
commits with git locally, or look at the commit log in a browser.

Thanks a lot for the clarifications. This has been one huge learning
journey for me.
I will start working on the next bug :)

*facepalm*
I really should refrain from doing anything before my morning coffee...
I totally missed that.
