What should happens, if the reporter of the nune-responsive

bug only want to takeover a single package, but the unresponsive
maintainer owns several packages? But I can imagine, that there may be
helpful to use the none-responsive maintainer bug report as an blocker
bug to all the bugs assigned to the non-responsive maintainer.
Therefore, We may need a special script to maintain such sorts of
blocker bugs. Best Regards: Jochen Schmitt
Well, if the maintainer does not respond I think all his packages must
be orphaned, not only the one for which the policy was started.
In my case I don't want to take ownership of boinc-client because that
package is rather complicated and I don't think to be skilled enough,
but I started the unresponsive policy because that maintainer owns many
packages and he's not been active for many months. Maybe someone will
take the ownership of some of his packages if they're orphaned (for
boinc-client, for example, there are already two co-maintainers).
I think for Fedora is better to have only maintained packages rather
than have a lot of packages unmantained and with broken functionalities.
