Well, if you check your commitfest dashboard [1] you'll see all
such patches listed under

"Your still open patches in a closed commitfest (you should move or
close these)"

or at least that's what I'm seeing for mine, and I'll go take that
advice momentarily.  But I agree that some more-active prodding would
be a good idea.  If we send an email nag for your-patch-needs-rebased,
I don't understand why there's not one for your-patch-just-dropped-
off-the-radar-and-you-need-to-fix-that.
