In this kind of situation I think an instant maintainer timeout is
acceptable.  You have made a best effort to contact the maintainer and
they have disallowed your email by policy, indicating that they are
not interested in receiving it.

I'd say it's also grounds for replacing the maintainer by someone else
more liberal in their mail acceptance policy.
