Thanks, I didn't know about that. Hopefully I'll never have to use it, but good to know. In this case, because no one needinfo'd the maintainer, the EPEL policy can be slower (two weeks compared to the minimum ten days for nonresponsive). Also, a literal reading of the EPEL policy says that the same person needs to needinfo as opened the bug, so if that's the case, then it would have been three weeks (because I didn't open either bug), unless I ask one of them to needinfo. I'm not sure if that's intended? Be well, --Robbie
