Not much. Could you make it 3 or 4 months for sponsored packages? I
can see waiting for an upstream fix for that long, instead of bugging
a sponsor to "test" a fix, manually or automatically by uploading.
Especially when a release has been imminent for some time now.
What do you mean "bounced back out"? Do you mean removed from
testing? That seems fine.
