The link is not the only stale part. The whole paragraph is wrong.
We apply patches during the merge window too.

 Q: Are patches applied to bpf-next when the merge window is open?
 -----------------------------------------------------------------
-A: For the time when the merge window is open, bpf-next will not be
-processed. This is roughly analogous to net-next patch processing,
-so feel free to read up on the netdev docs at
-Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst about further details.
-
-During those two weeks of merge window, we might ask you to resend
-your patch series once bpf-next is open again. Once Linus released
-a ``v*-rc1`` after the merge window, we continue processing of bpf-next.
-
-For non-subscribers to kernel mailing lists, there is also a status
-page run by David S. Miller on net-next that provides guidance:
-
-  http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
+A: Yes.
