I don't follow this logic.
Two weeks after v6.9-rc1 is v6.9-rc3.
Why wait that long to merge a fix?

The PCI pull request for v6.9-rc1 has already been merged.

Merging new features (to a submaintainer tree) might temporarily be put
on hold in relation to the merge window, but for fixes, it is quite
possible to both queue things (in a submaintainer tree), and to send
accumulated fixes to Linus during the merge window.

I did it myself just a few days ago, and Linus pulled it already:

Kind regards,
