If the maintainer is truly unresponsive, that's what the unresponsive
maintainer process is for.
If this is not what 'proven packagers' are allowed to do, it might be good to have everyone who has proven packager go through some sort of "retraining" as what Mattia announced doing has been common practice for a long time. It actually seems covered by https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Who_is_allowed_to_modify_which_packages/
If the packager doesn’t keep track of those items, then other experienced packagers are free to fix stuff for them.
I am expecting that this is an area which needs more clarity.
You can even commit rights on the package within a week or two, if
some conditions are met.
