Not very likely. It doesn't work that way. Linus usually don't respond to individual patches and hasn't for over 20 years.
A subsystem maintainer will pick up your patch if it is good, and they will deal with Linus for you. Most subsystems have their own mailing list because you need to visibility.
The process is described pretty well in Documentation/.
