Might want to include data on "short time out". If said timeout also
occured despite a dev being away, that also would be relevant.
Personally, having been on the receiving end of it I don't mind it-
the timeout approach is good for getting procrastrinating
and/or overloaded maintaners to speak up rather than the bug rotting.

Eh? Tree standards apply, if the ebuild isn't yet to that point, than
it should be sorted prior to unstable /anyways/. If an arch has
special standards, and they want the pkg stabled, it's on the *arch*
to do the legwork if the requirements are daft, else tell the arch to
be less retarded. My view at least.
I *suspect* the requirements you're complaining about here are more
related to source quality/running on alternate arches rather than
packaging itself- either way clarification is useful.

I have no issues w/ people bypassing me if I'm not doing my job in a
timely fashion- with the caveat that anyone doing so has to keep what
they kill (you break it, you fix it; if I'm overloaded someone
making a mess and dumping it in my lap will result in a fair bit of
hell directed their way).
