Automating the NonResponsiveMaintainers policy

["Jóhann B. Guðmundsson"]

I am a feature owner for a feature that involves components in the 
hundreds and is heavily depended on maintainers responsiveness.

For me to start enacting the non responsive maintainers policy is a 
tremendous work thus I'm wondering if there is something preventing us 
from automating the non responsive maintainer policy?

An bugzilla script that acts something like if maintainer has not 
responded to a bug report with the status new in a week ( or some other 
time ) the non responsive maintainers policy automatically starts taking 
effect.

To get out of that automatic non responsive process the maintainer would 
have to comment on the bug and set it's status assigned ( or something 
similar ).
