Today is again about removing packages from testing as my hintfile says. We've discussed (in the RM team) policy a bit, and it seems that we agree that packages with Release Critical bugs open for more than 3 weeks without any kind of activity from the Maintainer warrant a removal from testing without prior notification. Tonight's work is then just doing the quite not fascinating work of going through this list and look for removal candidates.

Note that we will always give more time to Maintainers that need it to fix a bug, if he/she states so in the bug report. Needing time is perfectly okay. Not telling about it isn't.
