I think it is fine for package owner to submit their request. Maintainers' own requests show up as filter for PM's, and these get priority treatment. Otherwise there's a 4+ month long queue as of now to get the request processed. Also, typically there are additional PM's who get involved in addressing maintainers' requests. I guess it's a more straightforward type of submission and therefore it's a bit less mentally burdensome, so it's easier for them to take up even when they are busy with other matters.

Now version 74 has made it to the Artix repositories. No need for this package right now; but might be useful as a legacy version later on when official version has moved on.
