20 I would prefer 1M (well... if the developer is not able to even comment
21 in bug reports in 1 month, maybe he should have at least a devaway
22 message explaining how to deal with his/her packages if he is not able
23 to reply so "soon") :/
24
25 Anyway, that is my personal opinion of course, maybe other would prefer
26 3M or similar :|
