Right. And not doing anything for 6 months would show the clueful how
important you consider new-maintainer, really.
Failing to grasp that I was responding to your point about
this not being Wichert's fault is what you missed. But perhaps I was
too subtle.
This is wholly Wichert's fault. If he felt there were problems back in

simple thing of making an announcement about it) then he failed.
