The people who process the change requests for owners.list need to check that there is no hostile take-over. > 2. Could be already mentioned bug [2] considered as a "asking for the > maintainer to respond"? It could be taken into account as a tiny amount [i.e. maybe a few days off the waiting periods during the AWOL procedure], but it cannot be used to skip the entire procedure IMO. While it is not nice of the package owner to not respond in bugzilla for over a month, it is too easy to not pay attention to bugzilla tickets, where somebody requests a version upgrade. I recommend that the AWOL procedure is started with explicit words and that the importance of a version upgrade is emphasised also in a private mail. > 3.
