Actually I think gentle-nagging is an incredibly important part of OS (and, life in general). The process here is not perfect -- we all have our ways of tracking TODOs, but, inevitably, often, things fall past the event horizon on anyone's TODO list, and gentle nagging / bump is very much appreciated to bring attention back, but unfortunately not done nearly often enough. That said, we of course will also forever need more committers...
