For this purpose the usual approach is to follow up to the patch
mail saying "Ping" and giving a url to the patch in patchwork,
like this one:

Eventually somebody will take pity on it and apply it, but
it does require a bit more persistence than for more actively
maintained areas of the codebase.
Thanks, applied.
Thank you!
Maciej submitted some other MIPS patches at about the same time:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/list/?submitter=4977
at least some of which got reviewed by Richard Henderson and are
therefore good candidates to get committed, if you can fish them out
of the list and ping them...
Sounds like a plan. I'll give it a go. May not be today, but soon.
Excellent, thanks, I've been just about to get back to them after a long
distraction. I should have something to add and to address Richard's
comments tomorrow or early next week. If resending patches helps, I can
certainly do that too -- in any case no pings or such stuff from me
usually does not mean that I am dead, but only that I've been pulled away
to something else.
