Oh sorry, this is my personal filter, but you get the point

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=620547&product=Spice&resolution=---

No, as I said before, I think if the submitter doesn't even bother to ping on his own patch or series, it is basically abandoned (until somehow does some research on the topic).

So if you want to make sure it is being tracked somehow, open a bug. Spice developers should refresh/update their open bugs regularly.
