If the owner of a former Core package is unresponsive to activity on a
Merge Review bug, despite being CCd, and the changes needed are minor, and
the reviewer is an uberpackager, is there any reason not to simply commit
the changes to cvs with comments and close the bug?

Thanks,
Jon

Or begin AWOL maintainer procedure?

Many are clearly not AWOL. Some of these packages have had a build or two
since my last comments. Some owners are RH employees.

In these cases, I've re-reviewed the current build, noted differences, and
double-checked ownership and CC status on the bug.

That was the way I was leaning, if my fairly leading question wasn't a big
enough hint. I'll wait for a further objection period, but likely
begin soon.
