Let's be courteous and not drive away contributors.

There's no relation between accepting patches and some nudging on the
contributor's part especially when there's no feedback on patches;
positive or negative.

If there'd be a daemon sending a mail saying the patch is in some
staging queue it'll reduce everyone's effort. Such extra mails
definitely aren't a problem. If it's later reverted because of any kind
of failure, again a polite mail wouldn't hurt.
