Separately, may I also suggest some kind of timeout on the RFH bugs?

Why?
If the team no longer wants help, they should just close it.
If the package was orphaned since then, ideally it should be closed, sure.
Because they're misleading and waste contributor time.
Have you spent time going through a lot of the 50 RFH bugs?
They're full of spam and people being ignored.
I do, occationally, look through WNPP bugreports.
If you consider 1 hour old bugreports stale, then you are free to ignore
older ones - noone told you to "waste" time on them.
Please, when talking in absolutes (like they're misleading") then please
provide some more information on how you come to that conclusive
judgement on behalf of all thousands of Debian contributors.
Alternatively (because that might indeed be a waste of time), please
consider framing personal opinions as such, not as absolutes. Reason
I encourage you to do that is that I want to discuss with you, and I
find it easier to discuss when the conversation is easy to separate
opinion from fact.
