What can I do to make progress? Spam Linus?

Reaching past the maintainer of a subsystem is generally considered
extremely inconsiderate and rude.

I would suggest not doing something like that if you have any interest
whatsoever in working peacefully with me in the future.

It sounds like you don't want to use logical arguments to convince me
that this patch meets -stable criteria, and instead you would like to
simply force the issue.
