I fetch his git and look at the log of the branch to see which of the documentation patches I forwarded are there. That said, there's no guarantee they'll go in from there because other maintainers often grab them and put them in through their trees.

He has a public git tree. It's listed in his MAINTAINERS entry. I've found that if a patch isn't in there, he hasn't picked it up yet. (I've been feeding Documentation patches through his tree, hence my interest in this thread.)
