You are of course referring to the code freeze that was just
announced as a "retro-alert." Dinging him for asking about progress
on an old PR and using the release code freeze as the reason, well
that's silly. He didn't know the freeze was in place until it was
announced. It was announced after the tree was frozen. See a
catch-22 here?
It sounds like you want people to send email bugging the
lists/developers/core/etc. on a weekly basis about old PR's.
Sounds like a recipe for irritation of all envolved.
