1. You are OT  but - Any user who is able to compile the Kernel is an enduser.
There is no exclusive contract between the Linux Kernel and the Distro
Maintainers. Thats opensource. Any code user is an end user. 

2. I'm compiling the kernel and I'm able to solve it by applying the patch
given earlier in the thers. 

What we are asking is to mainline this very patch. Such that other people
without knowing of this thread in the nerd corners of the web are able to
benefit from the patch. I guess thats why patches are used to solve bugs.

If the patch is working but not stable it would also be nice to be mentioned
here.  

3. I don't care when it is resolved or not. Its a bug ..there is already a
patch why is it not mainlined thats the only question.  

Instead of writing all the 1-3 and putting it to resolved it would be more
fruitfuly to any one if you/or anyone else briefly write a oneliner like this:

Hey guys patch works but is not fully tested yet...could take a few weeks
Or hey guys patch seems to work but breaks xy thats why its not mainlined
or hey guys patch works but problem is not really solved yet
or hey guys patch seems to work but only masks a compiler error.
... 

This is how a goal oriented user <-> dev <-> maintainer relation works.
At the end we all want a well working kernel.
