I think that a better question is:

If a maintainer is not able to deal with such things in a reasonable
time, why are they the only maintainer listed for a package?

We used to have a vacation page, but that's kind of weird privacy page.
I always try to let people I trust know when I'm going to be away.
Certainly if you are going to be away so long that you can't address a
comaintainership request in a reasonable time then that's exactly the
situation where you need comaintainers.

We really need to not be in the situation where a package has only one
maintainer.  And we really need to make sure that everyone knows that
provenpackagers are going to be touching your packages and people are
going to try and get involved.  They just are.  If you can't handle that
(and maybe having to do an occasional merge or revert) then you'd better
have something at the top of your spec explaining the situation.
