Yes, see the "M" role:

BaseTools
F: BaseTools/
W: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/BaseTools
M: Bob Feng <bob.c.feng@intel.com>
M: Liming Gao <liming.gao@intel.com>

... In fact, the patch has been committed as 2649a735b249e.

Unfortunately:

- your name has been messed up in the "Author" meta-datum :(

- we don't directly know who committed the patch, becaus "Committer"
only says "mergify[bot]"

Now, based on the subject and the commit date of the patch, I can find
some related notification emails in my "github.com email notifications"
folder. From those, the revelant (merged) GitHub PR seems to be:

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/283

I agree it's annoying to not have confirmation on the mailing list,
directly in your patch's thread. The only thing I can recommend is,
check the git history periodically, for recently committed patches,
authored by yourself.

Personally, on the maintainer side, I always make sure to confirm a
merge on-list, separately.

Thanks
Laszlo
