That depends upon whether the keyword request is important. If it isn't,
you wait for the arch team to get around to it. If it is (and
legitimately so -- we're not talking spurious "I want to remove this
old version that doesn't affect anything, that works fine and isn't
causing any problems beyond it existing" here), you ask the arch team to
prioritise it, explaining why.

If that ever comes remotely close to happening then the issue can be
raised when it does. You might as well ask what would happen if
suddenly all the KDE maintainers disappeared.
