NO! Let's not annoy bug submitters!
Sometimes the maintainer may have dropped the ball. Not the
submitter's fault. Sometimes there is no easy fix. Not the
submitter's fault. For whatever reason -- the delay is probably not
the submitter's fault and sending automated e-mail to them is BAD.
Period.
I do not want to get any more mail than I already do, especially if
it's not my problem.
