Ok, that splits my question in three:

a) How do I get my patch included if he is still maintaining it?

b) How do I get my patch included if he isn't maintaining it anymore?

c) How do I find out which of the two is the case?

Which are, of course, instances of general questions about the way
openSUSE want's to handle external contributions:

a) What happens to contributions if a maintainer is so overburdened he
or she doesn't even have the capacity to approve contributions that are
otherwise ready for inclusion?

b) What happens to contributions if a maintainer leaves?

c) How can contributors find their responsible maintainer (or absence of
same)?

Thanks,
Tilman
