Please stop nagging, you are chasing after only one week which is
excessive for something that isn't an urgent bugfix (especially
with a series like this that has had many rapid repins). Several weeks
to a month would be more appropriate, and then resending the patches
rather than sending contentless pings is more useful. Sending mails
like this just means that people have more mail to read that isn't your
patch, it is more likely to get you negative attention than positive -
for example, I will tend to deprioritise things where I'm being chased
too urgently as I do not wish to encourage such behaviour by being seen
to reward it.

In general I would recommend taking a step back, slowing down, and if
you are not getting a response either thinking of something else to do
in parallel or trying to do things that make it easier to accept your
change if there are any (sometimes it's just a case of waiting). Look
at how frequently the relevant maintainers tend to respond, at what the
previous review comments have been and also consider the possibility
that people might take holidays or just be busy.
