IMHO it isn't at all.

In addition to the list of Anthony I might add:
Require kind of a monthly status report of the maintainer. There must be a
reason if an RC bug is open longer than a month. The maintainer should
give reasons like "Need help", "Discussing with upstream", ...
If the RC bug is two month old: "Sorry, got no help", "Upstream is ignorant",
....
If a maintainer would not manage to respond to an RC bug for three months
the package is obviousely not maintained and should be taken over by
somebody else, IMHO.
Kind regards
Andreas.
