Good example of how poor the current process is.

You say 2009-07-21, but actually the same person has not responded to
bugzilla tickets for many more months. 15 tickets, but only one reply a
year ago (a comment that three packages have been orphaned).

Triaging caused these two to be closed WONTFIX without any comment
from the package owner at all:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/455567
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/468626

The following bug was reported on 2008-11-02

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/469602

and is still without a response. After six months, it was
fixed by Milos Jakubicek, probably with provenpackager privileges,
while the package owner continues to be non-responsive.
