Could we make it more flexible based on the weight of the change?
E.g. for an mcview rewrite 4 weeks is totally reasonable.  For
user-visible changes such as dimming wrapped lines (3546) it's also
okay for me to wait that long for input, to give you time to speak up
against it or come up with alternative approaches.

For minor changes, such as a followup bugfix in the viewer (e.g. 3531)
I wouldn't want to wait for more than a couple of days; let's say a
week at most.  Does this sound okay?

This is of course obvious.  (I didn't sign anything for gnome-terminal
either, at least I can't remember... I might have had to click once on
some legal stuff, but definitely nothing more than that.)


Thanks a lot,
