According to the proposal, the way to deal with a maintainer not
dealing with a bundling problem is to kick it to FESCo. What do you
see as FESCo's responsibility here?

I see the following possibilities:

1) FESCo orders the package blocked from the distro (may be hard to
enforce for packages with many children.

2) FESCo takes away package-ownership and finds a new caretaker for it
(Hard to accomplish since FESCo has no resources to direct)

3) FESCo sends a sternly-worded email to the maintainer

4) ???
