NEEDINFO(maintainer) is kind of difficult. I know for sure that there are developers with huge number of opened bugs (I won't name the ...) who actually claim that marking a bug as NEEDINFO(maintainer) is one of the most secure ways how to make it lost. Developers either follow all their bugmail and NEEDINFO(maintainer) is unnecessary, or they just go for ASSIGNED bugs and then it is actually pretty harmful. While writing previous paragraph, the issue begin pretty clear to me -- now I would vote for removing NEEDINFO(maintainer) from the bugzilla (or at least its Fedora part it is possible to separate it) completely. If anybody every comes with the reason why he needs to set NEEDINFO against maintainer, there is always NEEDINFO(other).
