There is, and you can find _numerous_ messages by Andreas in the archives of
this mailing list doing just that because he had to to get things moving.
I have been on record, without success, arguing that the autopkgtests for
CRAN packages are (almost always) redundant and 'busy work'. However, in this
case we can (as I usually suggest) go to the CRAN page
https://cran.r-project.org/package=slider
and then the status page and see
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_slider.html
that CRAN itself reports errors on three platforms! (And ignore the clang-15
issues, that is just forward-looking to upcoming compilers; CRAN was on the
gcc-10 changes before we were too.)

My position is (generally) unchanged. I think we should remove or relax the
autopkgtest requirement. But I do not expect to change any minds this time
either.
But in this case it may be time to talk to the actual package maintainer.
