For a package that had to go through NEW anyway that's really no excuse.
Pinging him and waiting a day or two for a reply doesn't hurt.

That's what we tell non-DDs to do. [1] says:
Sponsorship requests can be sent on the main discussion list or on
#debian-python IRC channel (OFTC network).

If I wanted to have fun I'd laugh about it somewhere private and go on.
But this is an team issue as our DDs appearently don't know where

that instead of sorting out personal issues with a team member, his work
is thrown away.

That's no excuse to upload an unfinished package.
