Well, that is something that should be corrected. The applicants need
to know the timeline established for the procedure. It's only fair.

Yes. Some sort of standard deadline should be used, and the applicant
should be informed of this. Extensions are possible, and in the truly
rare event that someone could not respond for reasons beyond his
control, we can enter him back into the New Maintainer queue, when he is
ready to resume the process.
