Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] question regarding merge request workflow

Hi wireshark devs,

in my role as wireshark maintainer for openSUSE/SUSE I go a request for
SMCD(v2) protocol support. Which has a pending merge request [0]. With
the recent 3.4.0 release I suspect that the only option to fullfill this
request on short notice is a backport to 3.4.

I was wondering how these merge requests are usually handled process
wise. Is there an indication that the change is looking good and might
be accepted? There is no detailed description of what to look for, that
I could find (found only [1]).

What is the potential timeline of such a review ?

Thanks,
Robert
