It pretty clearly says:
| serious; is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates
| a "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package maintainer's or
| release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.
Problems on non-release archs cannot make a package unsuitable for
release by definition.
It is ok not to know this, but it is not ok to not accept this once you
are told about it.

Right, you can reopen that then. Alternatively, you can rebuild the
Build-Depends chain yourself to check if you don't want to wait.
But it is not the maintainer's duty to chase this down, unless there is
a direct problem with their package. In this case, php7.0 is in state
BD-Uninstallable so this is a porter/buildd-admin problem.
