I remembered a week as well, but http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html says 
two weeks.

I agree with Joe that you can't always expect an answer within a week, 
but I don't think that necessarily means that pinging after a week or so 
is a bad thing; it just means that patches are likely to get pinged 
sometimes.  It seems to me that pings work reasonably well in practice 
to deal with the "someone else should review this" problem.
