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.
