Please think about what you would want to see sent to you.  A "naked"
ping has no context at all, right?

How about a normal "It's been two weeks, anything else I need to do here
to get this merged?" sentance would be great.

And to help maintainer's workload, why not help out and review other
patches submitted?  That's the best way to help ensure that a
maintainer's workload is reduced, and help make your patches move to the
top of the list.
