I have submitted a maintenance request for dkimproxy (15.4 and 15.5) more than three weeks ago.

It's still in open review for server:mail/dkimproxy . I tried pinging the bugowner directly (comment on OBS, review request on OBS, direct email) but I still did not get any movement.
The maintainer indeed does not seem to have acted here to resolve bug#1216919. I have seen this happen sometimes with employee package maintainers that will wave one thing through but then not act on another. There is often an explanation for this - that is to say this is not usually on purpose or negligent even though it may seem so.
Yes, I would not assume that this is with ill intent, but there are always conflicting priorities, MRs are typically more risk (affect a released product), etc.
What can I do to make this MR progress?
You could work with the server:mail project maintainers to override. If the package is entirely unmaintained you could request to become a maintainer yourself.
That is a good callout, thank you. I will keep in mind to reach out the project maintainers, not only the bugowner.
On a related note, I would like to submit the updated package to 15.6 as well. I clicked around OBS a bit and found https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Leap:15.6/dkimproxy .
Submit it from openSUSE:Factory/dkimproxy to openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6/dkimproxy. This should happen automatically for maintenance updates.
Will do, thank you. Thanks, Robert
