Agreed. But beware, because we could end up with having a lot of blue users and maintainers. To make the thing more efficient, a good mental approach should be developed. Maybe making a request for removal special in some ways? I think there are two things to consider: -make the fact as public as possible, so both the userbase and the other developers be notified. Publicize at least two weeks before the deadline. -educate users and developers about how can they motivate the maintainer to do her job well: the RFR report should include a text explaining why the package would be removed, what one can do to prevent this, what is the right attitude when one communicates with the maintainer
