Let's rephrase it:
The feature is automatically accepted (no FESCo involved at all) after
one week if the submitter of feature or anybody else explicitly does not
ask for FESCo review and approval.

I still hope that some kind of auto-accepting of features will be
approved by FESCo. I personally would vote for it if it is reasonably
worded.
