I like this idea more, than clicking around in wiki ;-) How about calling a maintainer non-responsive (and gone), after no bug comment or mail on a fpo lise or a koji build for longer, than half a year? (I know an example for this kind of non-responsiveness, and this would help here! I'm currently co-maintainer of that package, so I don't care much about the fast-track procedure or the like...)
