It is maintainers' responsibility to read emails sent to their address
set in their packages. I have spent enough time on RC bugs and MIA
cases to have a mental one week timeout on packaging related emails.

It is simple: If you are not there to answer in a week, your possible
opinion is ignored (unless you are on VAC which has been announced on
private@).

I don't have infinite time to be spent of unreachable maintainers, but
if you would like to ask them feel free to ping them again.

Cheers,
Balint
