But there is _no_ dispute. All the maintainer has to do is to close the ITS bug within a month. Thus, if the bug remains unanswered, there is no one who would want to dispute the bug. And not even a temporary incapacitation is a problem: for an ITS to be filed, you'd need to neglect the package quite a while, thus the package was effectively unmaintained for much longer than a month. Involving the TC is a heavyweight process, and is fit for when there's an actual disagreement. A disagreement requires two parties, with ITS one of them is gone.
