About the policy: According to GLEP 48, QA can take action against any package not adhering to their standards at their own discretion, and also define what is an emergency all by themselves (i.e. act before or after checking with the maintainer). The maintainer has the possibility to take it to Council if he disagrees. But until then, QA's decision stands. I also don't think that GLEP 48 mandates that QA informs anybody about their actions in any way. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
