There certainly seems to be confusion about the terminology used in the
bug reporting system and process. I and others have been under the
impression that the packages were released after two weeks if no further
problems were found, as did you in

"And 2 weeks is a timeout if no one votes on it."

Clearly a 2 week timeout is not in place.

I volunteered to help with the build server when Jesse mentioned it, and
I can currently only assume we should wait until it is available.
