No, it's extremely unlikely that bug fixing patches get silently rejected by being ignored. Most probably the time of your submission is unfortunate, being at the time when submissions are not merged. I am in same situation with a couple of patches. I asked Mauro yesterday on IRC and he replied:
I don't handle submissions during 3 weeks, during the merge window one week before, and the two weeks after that except when it is a bug that would affect the merge window (end of quote)
So unless you make it clear about which "release branches" are affected, your submission is to be delayed - possibly up to 6 weeks or so.
I was suggested to add tags Fixes: buggy-commit-id and Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
