But still, this kind of research puts undue pressure on the kernel maintainers who have to review patches that were not submitted in good faith (where "good faith" = the author of the patch were trying to improve the kernel)

I think that was kind of the point of the research: submitting broken patches to the kernel represents a feasible attack surface which is difficult to mitigate, precisely because kernel maintainers already have such a hard job.
