I object. Not entering testing could very well happen if the package's
dependencies are broken/buggy/uninstallable. In that case, it would make
zero sense to remove the package. Sure, packages having RC-bugs for
*long* times are another story, but depending on the package I propose
we fix[1] those.
Anyway, common sense should be (and is, by the RM,) applied.

There's no sense in automatically removing packages just because they
hit a certain threshold.
