      Hello all,

      I would like to submit a change proposal for the unresponsive
      package maintainer policy.

      The policy now says [1] "File a bug against the package in
        Bugzilla asking for the maintainer to respond. This bug should
        list the outstanding issues they need to address. This is a
        must."

      
      I think this kind of bug should not be filled against the single
      package, but something like against infrastructure. Also it should
      block all bugs assigned to that user.

      
    I think assigning packages from the unresponsive maintainer to  a
    Special Interest Group (SIG) as temporary measure would be a very
    suggestion. One of good examples is KDE with its very active
    maintainers taking care of KDE components should one of them be
    absent due to circumstance. 

    
    Luya
