I think nobody should ignore explicitly specified package maintainers without giving them a reasonable time to act.
I have the feeling that 90% of my requests are not accepted by the package maintainer but by anybody else with permissions. The one-week delay would just slow down things I guess.
I did not check anything but I have the dim feeling that perhaps 90% of the packages do not have an explicitly specified package maintainer or that there are many falsely specified package maintainers (i.e. who do not actively maintain the package) and as an unfortunate consequence others with permissions step in to move things forward. That a one-week delay should be an exceptional case. I meant it as the maximum waiting time for an explicitly specified package maintainer to react. Afterwards others with permissions can step in to move things forward. I wonder if it is possible for a package maintainer to neither accept or decline a submitrequest immediately but to immediately only "take" it which means that the package maintainer has recognized the submitrequest and will work on it but needs some time for checking until he can accept or decline the submitrequest. Currently it happened to me that while I was checking a submitrequest someone else "just accepted" it. I wished I could signal that I recognized the submitrequest and that I am working on it. In the end I mean what in bugzilla "assigned" means. Also for such recognized/assigned/taken submitrequests there should be a reasonable timeout (one week) until an accept or decline must happen. Afterwards others with permissions can step in to move things forward.
