The "echelon" scheme, which has been running for several months now,
is determining the last time a developer was "seen". The
DPL-appointed DAMs (Debian Account Managers) will be responsible for
dealing with inactive maintainers (of whom there are a number) in a
way which the project is still determining.
But that is a separate issue.

I believe you are frustrated by the length of time the NM process is
taking you and the unresponsiveness of your AM. Instead of flaming on
a different subject, please write an email to
new-maintainer@debian.org asking to be assigned to a new AM.
