Didn't I tell you that these will be handled by me? The when depends
on when I find time to do this.  I have a lot of patches on my stack,
and usually I process these sequentially, and not in the order of the
"priority" as the submitter wants to assign.  It is perfectly OK to
send a reminder when there is nothing happening, or when the merge
window closes and I call for unprecessed patches to be flagged, but
frankly, you ask a bit too often.  You may want to read
