mh,  is  the "happiness-level" of the list members really of
relevance here :-) ?

I  would  vote for relaxing the tight deadline of 28 days. I
more or less understand what's getting  on  your  nerves  in
principle,  but demanding explicit notifications in this way
will probably only lead to something  like:  "the  developer
demands   that   we   notify   you   that   28   days  after
{insert_some_date_here} this version is no longer considered
up-to-date etc. etc.

I  think  ion3  is  now  in the "asymptotic range": the core
functionality is more or less frozen and changes are  mostly
in  the  periphery.  and  the  guys  adopting  ion3  to  the
different distros might not always have time to react within
28  days  (hey, they even might get on holidays sometimes!).

so make that time limit 12 weeks, 3  months,  or  a  hundred
days, whichever you like most...
