Expiration leaves the users exatly here: Not understanding why their
package is not being looked at.

Technically, revu really *needs* some expiration mechanism for disk
space reasons, and what Siegfried is proposing sounds pretty similar to
that to me.

I think we should be honest: We don't have enough manpower to process
the revu queue. The queue is processed on a best-efford basis, and if a
contributor does not find a sponsor by other means (like advertising it
on our irc channel, etc) there is a good possibility for the package to
be ignored. I consider expiration in the way Siegfried is proposing it
as a way of implementing this.
