First, there is no queue. It's a list, but not a queue.
I agree that we need policy here, but a serious problem is that
currently when there is a backlog, maintainers of penalized packages
have a perverse incentive not to fix any bugs in any *other* package
because it will cause the penalty on their package to continue.
