I assume the p.mask entry text wasn't optimal then. For this specific case, sabnzbd had been in maintainer-needed for 3 months already. Unfortunately no "package up for grabs" had been sent for this one when it was dropped to that (previous maintainer dropped maintenance himself). I don't see anything wrong with the idea of p.masking it in case it could be causing problems for others (such as py2). Of course the p.mask entry could apparently have been better, it's sad that no "package up for grabs" happened back then months ago, and it's not nice it was all in a big lump of maintainer-needed packages, python@ packages and packages maintained by completely unaware maintainers with no notification period.
