If I read the proposed process right the lightweight part of it is that this process can/should be started before the "noticing that the maintainer is not answering their bugs, etc". Is that what lightweight refers to here? There's also less involvement from FESco so it might also refer to that? :) My feeling is that if the written up process could do without much of the process and instead have a written down process that expedites PR merges by provenpackager(s) or FESco directly. Something akin to: 1. Day 0: open PR 2. Day 7: ping maintainer. 3. Day 14 (or 21): FESco issue to get PR merged. Without taking on co-maintainer role. Though maybe that was probably a conscious choice to have a barrier for using this process?
