IMO it isn't pushy to ask about an issue that seems ready but on which
no action has been taken for an extended period.  It could be that the
nosy committers have just forgotten about it.

In the future, it best way to approach this situation (patch that seems
ready but no action has been taken) is to ping the issue first, and if
you don't get a response after a few days, to post here as you did.
