No really. You should have done this in the bug reports in BZ and not on
the mailing list. 2 Attempts in BZ are the first step, then comes the
mailing list and (my personal opinion) a personal mail because people
tend to ignore lists and BZ.

... in this particular case where a maintainer is has not done anything
for more than 2 years, I find it hard to believe he will return. I
therefor approve your request as a FESCO member in order to continue
with the procedure.
