My past experience is that the Fedora kernel maintainers are responsive and helpful to an appropriate degree.  Good bug reports get good responses, vague or ambiguous ones get a response that helps clarify, problems where other components are involved get redirected.

If a bug gets CLOSED UPSTREAM I'd say there's a very high probability that the issue is actually under development or has already dealt with. Upstream might have dealt with the issue in a way that's different from the approach in your patch - that doesn't mean your bug is dismissed offhand or that submitting your patch isn't appreciated.
