Timeout of ITP's

[Søren Boll Overgaard <dev-null@bombadil.tolkien.dk>]

Hi,

An ITP[1] on thunderbird[2] was originally submitted to the BTA back in
June. Since then, for various reasons, no package has been uploaded, and
someone other then the original submitter of the ITP has committed to
uploading a package. However, nothing has happened for nearly a month
now, and the ping I sent just over a week ago has gone unanswered.

So, my question is, how long should an ITP be allowed to just sit there
before someone else (in this case myself or anyone else who would be
interested) can go ahead and "hijack" it? I couldn't seem to find any
relevant information regarding this in the developers reference, the
policy manual or on google.

Thanks.
