Sometimes it's annoying to wait that long. I guess this is the only reason why we have so many project maintainers sitting in any project at all.
Another idea might be that one package maintainer could accept immediately but it would need at least 2 or 3 project maintainers to accept. If the package maintainer is sr'ing himself then one project maintainer might be enough to accept.
Then ... after one week silence ... anybody of the project maintainers can accept alone.
I would rather suggest for project maintainers to check if package maintainer (in the formal sense) does really actively maintain the package. If so, please give him some time. If not - and often this is quite obvious - there is probably no need to wait, especially for simple "obviously correct" changes. But in that case, they should probably also contact such inactive "maintainer" and check if is going to live up to his role or not.
Can we have some marker in the package information, showing the maintainer X wants to be a gatekeeper, every SR has to be accepted by X? I bet they are rather minority, and majority of thousands of packages are loosely maintained. So it's easier to achieve than asking inactive maintainer at each time.
