Which just boils down to a "what's going on with this" message.

No, I'm saying don't send pings at all.  Resend patches if you think
they've got lost, and as normal when you're sending a patch it should
start off a new thread.  The goal is to send something that can be
directly acted on when it's seen rather than requring another round of
mails.
