My view here is completelly different, maintainer should have authority of his 
feature.
I.e. if somebody owns vagrant stuff, he should be asked to +1 on any 
non-trivial change.
If maintainer is busy with something else and not taking much care about it 
anymore, then we
either need to find another one or we should remove it completelly from the 
repo.

What we have today is broken, there is many unmaintained stuff in the repo 
which went out of sync with time
and if somebody submits patch to the gerrit, I (and I guess other committers 
also) don't have a clue what to
do with it, as i really never started vagrant in my life.

Same story with vppctl, rpm packaging, different plugins...
