You need to be more patient, it sometimes take several days before
your get patch reviewed or applied.  Sometimes nobody reviews a change
for some time because it is obscure or everyone is busy.

All patches are tracked in patchwork, so it is never an issue of a
change getting "lost".  Therefore, it never makes sense to ping the
list again and ask if a change is "ok".

Personally, when people ping like that, it makes me want to review
that patch _less_ not more.  So please do not do it.

Thank you.
