Recently I began to create a review request for netatalk, when I noticed there already was an open review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1520024
May 7th was the last activity by anyone other than myself. On 11/28 I offered assistance to help move the review along, but I have not received an answer.
In the interested of getting this review completed, am I in my right to close this request and create a new one, or is there better course of action?
Afaik the recommendation (at least for maintainers not responding to bugreports) is to wait at least two weeks (in case someone is on vacation), so I'd maybe wait at least until the end of the week before taking further action.

If you have a package ready to go, then certainly just close the old review ticket. If someone is upset by that then they can simply help you review the package you're submitting or offer to co-maintain it with you.
Also do note that netatalk has been orphaned since 2016, so in addition to the package review, you will need to file a releng ticket to get the package unblocked so that you can build it again. See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Cl...

Amazingly we have a policy for this:

Hope that helps,

Somehow I knew this question was documented somewhere in the giant book of Fedora. I just couldn't find it. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks everyone for the fast response. I'll wait another week before taking action, and when I do I'll make sure to file a releng ticket to get it unblocked.
