Great, so now we have 4 ways (and counting) to get 4 answers to this
question that hopefully will be mostly the same.

My point is more that it makes more sense for one person to just file
the bugs or send out the list so that maintainers can go fix their
packages, as opposed to playing a game where every developer in Gentoo
independently engineers a solution to the same problem.  If some
maintainers decide not to play the game, or play it and make a
mistake, then it ends up being the python team or the users who lose.

If a maintainer ignores a blocker bug for too long nobody is going to
shed a tear over some treecleaning.  Spending a bit more time on
communication might save a lot more time in cleanup.
