Yeah, our policy in https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html states that
"Pinging patches, Getting patches applied

If you do not receive a response to a patch that you have submitted within
two weeks or so, it may be a good idea to chase it by sending a follow-up
e-mail to the same list(s).  Patches can occasionally fall through the
cracks.  Please be sure to include a brief summary of the patch and the URL
of the entry in the mailing list archive of the original submission."

If some patches have been already reviewed, others partly, others in the
works and others need review, sending a mail with those details
so that it is easy to find out what is still pending is appreciated even
more.
