No worries :)
That'd probably Benjamin Tissoires, co-maintainer of the HID subsystem.
There is no further action you need to take, just wait. Please understand that
these things can sometimes take a while as maintainer time is limited and they
may have a long backlog to fight through.

Also be aware that maintainers might be a bit conservative about adding new
features as they will be required to maintain them in the long run, so don't
take it personally if they chose not to to merge some of your patches.
