No matter what is done, there is a time limit for the review of patches which fix RC bugs, whether stated or not. If a maintainer is unable to respond to a patch for an RC bug in a reasonable timeframe, they should expect an NMU. It matters little how the timeframe is enforced; it's there regardless. Non-RC bug fixes are an entirely different beast, but NMUs for them are generally discouraged anyway.
