It's very rare to post "Any progress?" as a comment on a bug will help in any ways.
If you think the bug has been forgotten, you can
* add more context, new information on how the bug is impacting your work, your website, etc.
* Talk about a website you noticed the issue
* Link to a forum/blog post where they are discussing this specific issue
* Add a testcase to the bug in question
(posting here, because it has happened to me to do just that on other projects and that's not useful.)
