Yes, that doesn't count since a) it wasn't the final version of the patch which changed significantly afterward and b) even it had been the final version, there was no acked-by or reviewed-by from a selinux maintainer, just some suggestions. A non-trivial patch that modifies security/selinux needs to be at least acked by a selinux maintainer and often should go through the upstream selinux maintainer (Paul).
