So in case a issue cannot be handled by someone and the process is executed, then the old maintainer can still become maintainer of their packages again afaics. Imho it is more important to fix bugs or issues, than to make sure that packages are only maintained by certain people. Maybe there will be even co-maintainers after the non-responsive maintainer policy is executed. The one who will maintain it after the procedure and the original maintainer if he or she becomes resposive again.
