Objectively, I think this could be quite effective. You need to prove
your continued interest in your project by pressing a button every two
months.
But there is a high risk that this will double the annoyance for
contributors whose patches aren't getting reviews. Now, not only are
you being ignored, but you need to prove that you're still there every
two months.
