Unresponsive package maintainer policy change proposal

[Mattia Verga]

Hello all,
I would like to submit a change proposal for the unresponsive package 
maintainer policy.
The policy now says [1] "/File a bug against the package in Bugzilla 
asking for the maintainer to respond. This bug should list the 
outstanding issues they need to address. This is a must./"

I think this kind of bug should not be filled against the single 
package, but something like against infrastructure. Also it should block 
all bugs assigned to that user.

This can be useful if a user maintains several packages. This way all 
bugs receive a notification that the "unresponsive package maintainer" 
policy was started for that maintainer.

For an example, I've just opened such a bug [2] for boinc-client 
maintainer that owns several other packages with open bugs and no 
activity since May.

What do you think about my proposal?
Mattia
