It seems not to happen this morning. In general, after how much time
after commit should we get worried and report it?

It says:

 $AUTHOR commited a patch related to this issue to "$BRANCH"

That's misleading. See e.g.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45748#c9
and
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=66cf06ebdd4eeb95e801de114af06b49119fc7fe&g=libreoffice-3-5
Committed by Tor, but authored by Cédric. The message in the bug says
"Cédric committed".

I would suggest one of:

 A patch by $AUTHOR related to this issue was committed to "$BRANCH"

(should it be "has been committed" maybe?)

or

 $COMMITTER committed a patch by $AUTHOR related to this issue to "$BRANCH"

or
 $AUTHOR's patch related to this issue was/has been committed to "$BRANCH"
