We don't *have* to delete the packages after N time-units on the spot;
it just means that when (for whatever reason) a contrib seems to have
been unmaintained for some time, we have a hard, documented, criterion
that lets us easily determine what to do with it.
One month sounds good.
OK, how about
"Note that if the tool or script appears to be unmaintained - for example
if we receive a bug report but get no response from the maintainer - then
we reserve the right to remove the script outright. We will normally wait
at least a month and make multiple attempts to contact the maintainer."
We could be more specific about making the multiple attempts from
different email addresses but that seems excessively prescriptive.
