Yes, we usually try to be quicker at doing merges. We had a few that
took quite long this merge cycle. Summer breaks, travel, and
maintainer handoff and getting up to speed are all factors in that.

Always send your merge requests to arm at kernel.org, that way everybody
gets them. Just as the rule of thumb with patches, if you haven't
heard back within a week, please ping us to see if we missed it.
Especially true when -rc7 rolls around.

Send those pings to the same alias. It's possible that we handed off
between each other so that the other person is handling merge requests
at that time, but you don't have to worry about that if you use the
alias.
