I'm not sure the main admin matters as much as this thread indicates?

This has been discussed a number of times in the past, most recently the discussion caused a policy to remove inactive provenpackagers. In any case I don't think setting needinfo on someone who is not working on your bug will help much. Most likely they would ignore the needinfo as well or show up and tell you they don't have cycles to work on the bug and clear it. More effective would likely be refiling upstream and seeing if they could address it. all IMHO. kevin
