Normal retry times are 3 to 5 days with 5 being the postfix (and probably other software) default. If a mail couldn't be delivered after that time the sending server will bounce it.
Still seems excessive from just bouncing once. Having an email sent to one of the AUR mailinglists seems like a better option, that way it can be investigated if the maintainer really is gone or if he just forgot to update his email on the AUR.
