Yes, but maintainer still has to do the work to include their patch.
It doesn't really matter to the porters if the upload is done today or
tomorrow, and by doing the NMU they waste their and the maintainer's time.
(Of course, this doesn't apply to maintainers who wouldn't fix the bug in
several days or weeks or months or (gasp) years).
