Wouldn't this fit under the non-responsive maintainer policy?
Well, the obvious problem with that approach is that the packagers are
otherwise active (at least the majority of them):
Fabian Affolter (5 bugzillas)
Dan Horák (4 bugzillas)
Peter Robinson, Rust SIG, Mukundan Ragavan...
And the non-responsive maintainer policy kinda assumes the maintainers are
generally not interested / responsive.
