You are missing the point.  Saying 'ping' to a bug report is fully
valid – and even quite useful so that the Emacs maintainers know that
there is still interest in resolving the problem at hand.  Doing this
without referring to the original bug report number *creates a new*
report, which means more administrative work nobody really likes to
do, and which becomes annoying if this happens repeatedly.  And yes,
such annoyance eventually leads to ignoring a bug report, which
essentially means that the report's priority is set to a very low
value.

Please always bear in mind that maintaining Emacs is an unpaid job
done in spare time for fun.  Fixing bugs is especially unthankful, and
being annoyed reduces the fun factor enormously.
