Sorry, but part of being a good engineer is being able to explain why your work is critical (or isn’t, be honest) and how it works in as reasonably simple terms as possible.
I’ve learned to ‘ask first, write later’ when it comes to open source as well, unless I’m willing to fork or just keep the changes for myself. There’s no guarantee all contributions are welcome, so don’t sink the cost until you can be reasonably sure your code will get used.

But in reality, the kernel maintainers are probably much more concerned with patches coming from mainframe and server vendors. That's just the reality of who pays the bills.
