You did not Cc'ed the maintainer, so he likely missed it.
See:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch#CC_the_relevant_maintainer

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f linux-user/signal.c
Riku Voipio <address@hidden> (maintainer:Linux user)
Laurent Vivier <address@hidden> (reviewer:Linux user)

BTW you should also look at the next paragraph in this wiki page:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch#Do_not_send_as_an_attachment

Since you credit Peter Maydell, it would be kind to Cc him too.

I Cc'ed Riku/Laurent/Peter for you now.

Regards,

Phil.
