I don't expect it to happen.  But right now, there's only the initial 
mail that the MFC is due, and no reminder afterwards.  We have the open 
PR mails once-weekly; MFCs are at least as important.

Come to think of it, entering PRs for past-due MFCs could be a way to do 
that with the existing systems.
