That was the context. I did give a solution on how communities handle
"non-responsive maintainers" as a follow-up to it for the benefit of
all.

"Allegations" and "accusations" are too strong words. "Observations"
is more appropriate.

I will still give more examples on how other communities handle such situations:

Sugar Labs:
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/Policy_for_nonresponsive_maintainers

Mageia's approach is similar to Fedora:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Unresponsive_package_maintainers

Drupal uses a queue to maintain requests for ownership:

For the Linux kernel, another maintainer takes over, or as per the
following document it usually falls back to Linus:
