I did refer to the Submitting Patches section of
http://mesa3d.org/devinfo.html before submitting the patch, but it seems
like it's out-of-date compared to what's in the repo. I'll make sure to
check my local web page in the future.

Oh okay, I wasn't aware of this. This seems like it would be a good
bullet to add in the list under "Criteria for accepting patches to the
stable branch." I just discovered it, so forgive me if it this info is
already there in some form or fashion.
