To make sure packages don't end up with only inactive (co-)maintainers. If a package is well maintained it's perfectly ok to lower the importance of the bug and fix the issue in the next upload... > I also don't think that an inactive co-maintainer should be > a justification to stop a package to migrate to testing. > What is the rationale here? Same as above, the active (co-)maintainer should drop the severity otherwise it's better to orphan the package.
