Sure.  The current security team ideals is that a security team member can 
step in and apply security fixes or rebuild dependent packages in the absence 
of a maintainer.  There needs to be a reasonable timeout though no?  So there 
may still be a window where the update gets released, and the fringe packages 
are not updated to suit, until a timeout is reached and a security team 
member has to step in and issue an update for the fringe package.
