Per MAINTAINERS:

SLIRP
M: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org>
M: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>
S: Maintained
F: slirp/
F: net/slirp.c
F: include/net/slirp.h
T: git git://git.kiszka.org/qemu.git queues/slirp

which shows Jan's staging tree, but not Samuel's.

It's not a requirement for a maintainer to have a public-facing staging 
tree, but many of them do, as it gives you a chance to test that what 
will later be in a pull request matches what you expect.

At any rate, 
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch#Is_my_patch_in.3F mentions 
that maintainers will batch together various related patches and send a 
pull request for inclusion in the main repository, thus even when a 
patch has been reviewed and staged, it may be another week or two before 
it lands in mainline.  Yes, it can feel slow, but in general it works 
out for the best (as we have more chances to flag potential problems 
before they affect everyone by being in mainline).
