Let's rephrase it:
The feature is automatically accepted (no FESCo involved at all) after
one week if the submitter of feature or anybody else explicitly does not
ask for FESCo review and approval.
Sure, better at least from a starting point.

I still hope that some kind of auto-accepting of features will be
approved by FESCo. I personally would vote for it if it is reasonably
worded.
As I said in the meeting yesterday, I think the definition of a Feature
needs to be cleared up before we can really tackle this one. Feature to
me is something important enough that it shouldn't be auto-accepted. If
there is some other class of thing people submit that isn't a Feature,
then I might be for auto-accepting of those.
