Don't let's make it expected and OK to game the process - that way
lies endless bureaucracy and nonsensical procedures for doing things.
Let's either accept the current outcome, or propose and implement
something different.
(Personally, I think that if we have a package:
- for which users have provided patches in bugzilla
- for which the none of the co-owners of the package has responded the patch
- for which nobody has initiated the "unresponsive packager" procedure,
- for which nobody (neither the reporter nor the co-owners, nor anyone
else) has bumped the Release: field as requested by the automated
script
then clearly nobody is interested enough in maintaining the package
properly, and keeping it in the distribution is a disservice to our
users; therefore the package should be dropped from the distribution.)
