You could /a/ try to come to an agreement with him about a less brittle 
protocol, or /b/ think of your mail as an "announcement" rather than a 
"request" (for your peace of mind) and follow up with a repost of the 
announcement if you come to know that your updates did not appear in 
Linus' tree when the end of a merge window is near.

(Of course I cannot really assess your requirements and workload, not 
being maintainer of a large or highly connected kernel component myself. 
So ignore if I'm suggesting something stupid here.)
