That could be avoided if you check that every maintainer of
the package is MIA.

I still don't see a reason for a bug. An active maintainer
will notice this and will fix it by himself I guess.
To me this is not very different from filing a bug for an outdated
standards version (e.g. 3.7.2) even if no package changes
are needed.

Cheers
Nico
