Approved packages that never get imported?

Hi,

What is the right thing to do when a package's review is approved, but
the package never gets imported into the distribution because the
packager subsequently becomes non-responsive?

Is the non-responsive maintainer policy appropriate, or should the
review be resubmitted entirely?

I've seen this in a few places and not been entirely sure what to do,
as this isn't entirely spelled out in our policies. But the specific
example I'm looking at right now is ocaml-re
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1174036), which was
approved back in 2015 but has not been imported.

Now the contributor in question (Jon Ludlam) hasn't been sponsored,
but they've also been generally unresponsive to other review requests
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1172771). I also sent Jon
an email inquiring about the state of his copr repository providing
these packages (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jonludlam/opam/)
about a year ago and never heard back, so... technically I guess I
could proceed with the non-responsive maintainer policy. But is that
the right thing to do?

Thanks in advance,
Ben Rosser
