Do the triage messages just go to the requester or to everybody
(requester, maintainer, CCs)?  If they only go to the requester, then
one rule to try would be if the last comment was from the requester,
send a notice to the maintainer.  In most cases, if the requester was
the last person to comment, there's nothing more they can do unless
asked for more info.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
