So, the 45 days that lapsed since it's been flagged out of date isn't
enough?
Seems to me after 6 weeks, why bother?
Because it's the standard procedure and, beside this, it's unfair to
disown a package without trying to contact its maintainer first.
If not 6 weeks, what reasonable amount of time makes this step unnecessary?
I want to fix the package, not deal with waiting on somebody else who may
or may not get to it for another two weeks.
Maybe the maintainer itself may disown the package as soon you'll get in
touch with him, so there's no need for a TU to disown it.
Maybe the the maintainer will provide the update.
Or maybe there will be silence for two weeks and a TU will disown the
package.
In any case, IMHO this is a fair procedure to get a package disowned and
is good to stick with it.
