> Discussed pmaports!7770, possibly limiting the wait period for maintainer
> approval from 2 weeks to 1 week.
>
> We discussed to keep 2 weeks and make an issue template for “had to merge
> without maintainer review”, the new process will then be that the template
> gets filled out if a MR has to be merged without maintainer review after
> two weeks. The maintainer can then either say that they plan to review
> future merge requests, or indicate that they don’t want to maintain the
> thing anymore, or just not respond (which implies that they don’t want
> to maintain anymore). That way we should be able to get the listed
> maintainers to reflect reality better.
>
> Everyone reading this, please make sure you are not listed as maintainer
> for packages that you don’t plan to do reviews for anymore :)
