Right, but even still, I don't really think that "you're not online for a week, you're gone!" is the right approach. There are probably a good many packagers that don't check in once a week or more. Not the case for you or I obviously, but I wouldn't discount that they exist.
There have been times when I'm on vacation in the middle of nowhere and couldn't get Internet, etc. Do I have to orphan all my packages when I'm planning on being on vacation for two weeks? There are also times when I can get Internet but would prefer not to, etc.

In all fairness, that is not what Kevin suggested. He suggested that maintainers who are absent for two weeks (not one) *without providing notification before they left* should be considered non-responsive. That's a significant difference.
