Lastly you need to wait for review comments and the merge of your work. If you feel that they are slacking, don't bother to ping them again. In case you need to include some improvements, just commit your work again using *repo-commit* and push it again to your fork. No need to send another pull-request as your new changes will be added to the original one.
