Hi,
so far I found that Remco made the best suggestions.
>From a quality of service point of view, unmaintained apps provide a more
pleasing experience to the test data submiter: data is generally accepted
within a fraction of a day.
Not so for maintained apps. Why? Simple: there's a (large?) pool of general
admins, so response time is low. OTOH, what response time can you expect
from a single maintainer?
My suggestion variant is: Delegate submissions after no more than 3 days
from the maintainer to the general pool.
Or what Remco suggested: accept by default pool, still notify maintainers
so they can edit it afterwards.
Easy to understand; easy to implement; best response time.
Why look elsewhere?
Find something else for removing people who volunteered(!) to maintain
something. E.g. I'll be on vacation for 3 weeks, I'll never leave a
~/.vacation to please spammers, so I find the "8day response or be kicked"
pretty tough.
