I'm a little confused by this:

This bug was filed on Oct 25. The init system GR voting ended on Nov
18th, and I think you resigned a few days later. It seems to me there
was at least some time available to push for a vote...
On the other hand, I can't help but see an eery similary to #741573,
where one maintainers actions are also blocking other people's hard
work. In that bug, however, you seemto the main force
preventing a swift vote.
