That shows how much I've read the policies in detail. That got transferred over to the regular (non-wiki) docs
That policy in particular is for updates that do not have ABI changes, but config changes that will require manual changes.
So, you are correct. I think we're going to have to go with plan C and treat each long term update as a unique item.
I'm going to start with a ping on each of the updates to remind the maintainers that the packages are in there.
I think we also need to re-visit the detailed policy. At the very least change all the two weeks to one week to fit the new wait time.
And several of those points in the policy are stated in different places in the docs.

For context, until very recently, the EPEL guidelines explicitly asked packagers to disable time-based push on fully-compatible “minor release” type updates and let them sit indefinitely in testing until/unless they accrued +3 karma. The historical guidelines are mostly preserved on the wiki[1].
I’m not sure what that means in terms of how to handle these cases, but it does suggest that many of these lingering updates may reflect conscientious application of the guidelines at the time rather than maintainers simply losing track of updates.
