It's grossly unfair to insinuate that being a volunteer is associated with
laziness or a lack of responsibility.
There are a myriad of things that we as packagers do that are completely silent
to the surrounding automation and for which most people are never even aware.
Working with upstream development teams, for example, filing bugs on their
systems. What Fedora sees as a patch or a version bump to a package may be the
result of hours of thankless work on the part of the volunteer packager.
If you want to find a way to automate notification that a maintainer is
unresponsive after a reasonably period, fine. Obsoleting their packages is
just wrong however. On Sunday, November 18, 2018, 4:45:00 AM EST, Mattia

In my opinion, "irritating" is when a maintainer doesn't reply to bugs that
users fill in Bugzilla. If they can't found enough time to reply or change
state of any bug in a six months period, than maybe it is better someone else
take care of their package.
Being a volunteer doesn't mean to not have any responsibility.
