Ping people explicitly for review/acks, either here or on irc. Keep a
record of who owes you, to make your ping convincing :-)

The trouble is that with mailing lists it's essentially impossible to
track patches in need of review. Except if everyone would keep their
own stuff up to date, which almost noone does (plus you'd need to do
it on all the disjoint patchwork instances if you cc multiple list).
So defacto stuff just gets lost after about a week or so, and you need
to kick it again. "Maintainer updates patchwork all the time" doesn't
scale and leads to burnout. It sucks, but it is what it is. Waiting a
full month is definitely too much waiting, especially for a simple
patch like this one.
