Depends. Some patches are well-tested, their motivation instantly
appeal to the reviewer, and their impact is small and well understood.
These patches are usually applied as soon as they''re discovered.
Patches that deviate in some form or another from those properties can
take all from a little while, to a long time, to never to get applied.

Usually people responsible for these adapters will either make a patch
of their own or raise the issue here.
