Does it mean you prefer not having a package in hackage than having it without a backup maintainer?

Just think about all the packages that would not have reached hackage with a rule like that...

Yes!  +1

hackage should require a backup maintainer for every library package upload.

No. In my opinion, there's no good reason why a package should remain
broken for
more than a day, given that there are people who has found, reported, and
fixed
the issue. All the actual work is done, now someone just has to push a
button.

Isn't a 4 day turn around on a pull request a little hasty?

Hi Max,

are you still maintaining the 'temporary' package?
There's a breakage waiting to be fixed (with a patch):
https://github.com/batterseapower/temporary/pull/12

If I don't hear from you in two days, I'll request maintainership
and/or
fork the package.
