Of course it looks silly in this context, since the Ukraine invasion is going on. However, in general, don't forget that in some cases there are maintainers who forget, or don't have time, or fix the issue BUT forgot to post an update. These things really do happen. I don't think it's inherently malicious to ask.

It's all about timing. Ask too soon, or too frequently, and you're being a jerk.

But after 2-3 weeks of silence? A slight prod is okay, even if the answer will turn out to be, "This isn't a priority and I don't know when I'll get to it."
