How about the ATs cc the maintainer on the bug they |
| 11 |
file to get the pkg bumped to stable, and giving them a period of time |
| 12 |
(48 hours? a week?) in which to raise any objections. Of course the AT's |
| 13 |
would still have the power to go over the maintainers head in case of |
| 14 |
an emergency - but only if the maintainer can't be reached, or can't do it |
| 15 |
themselves for whatever reason, or is just being a big dink. |
