Well, yeah, I would say in this case after some reasonable time if the submitter hasn't built the new package and you haven't heard from them you could revoke your fedora-review:+ on the review, and close it. If they come back they can resubmit it. > I see that even if I will get my new package SCM done today and this > script is run, I can see my package appeared in needsbuilt list > whereas it has nothing to do with f18 mass rebuild as my package is > totally a new package.

The thing is: If you get a package built and tagged into f18 before the mass branch it's easily. If for whatever reason you wait until after that you will need to not only fix rawhide, but the f18 branched version and deal with an update in bodhi, etc. So, it's to your advantage to fix everything you can now before that happens and save yourself some more work later.
