There may be some cases of that. If so, the non responsive maintainer
procedure should be used on those maintainers.

There is a minor error: I fixed the -Simple package with a patch
submitted in the upstream bugtracker iirc 7 days ago. But I also
noticed that the -Mirror package was removed from debian.
But what about the other packages from this maintainer? He maintains
around 36 other packages:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/iburrell
E.g. the jigdo packages also has 4 bug. I looked at two an both did
not receive any comments from the maintainer:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426847
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503833
Indeed. I don't see much activity from them.
Have you tried sending them an email?
If not, I can.
Therefore the non responsive maintainer procedure, i.e. orphaning
all
packages from the affected maintainers, seems to me to be more
appropriate.
In this particular case, yes.
