IMHO this should be the default for everyone without exception, and I
feel sorry we need such a page.
I mean, there is two cases:
1- there is a co-maintenance team, known to be reactive, then contact
them on their list before, because the coordination of a team is
likely to be more complicated, hence a "rogue" NMU isn't a
brilliant idea.
2- there is a bug open for 7+ days (if RC), or an important one that
counts for this or that migration/update/whatever for say 10+ days
without any answer from the Maintainer. Then just NMU.
Migrations usually last way more than 10 days due to testing
transitions, so 7 to 10 days is not such a long time.
OTOH my experience with NMUs is that people that complain because of a
NMU are in 95% of the cases (if not more) the people that have been the
more warned that a NMU could happen, and people that are the more likely
to "deserve" one, and those will never subscribe to a page like
LowThresholdNMU anyway.
