With or without three automatic nags? Yes that another possibility. I think the only way to handle RFPs which makes sense is to give a period of time (a year or so) and if the bug has not been retilted to ITP in this time delete the RFP. In a year many things (licenses too :) can change in software development so if someone is interrested in a piece of software he can write a wnpp again. If nothing changes in this period of time upstream is inacive and the software shouldn't be packaged.
