Vacation can't be an excuse for being unresponsive. This is a team effort and project leads or team managers should be able to monitor this. At least that's what happens in development. Why not in other teams also? I already mentioned that it should be clear that it can't be expected that a problem is always solved within 2 weeks. One reason for this might be vacation. So my constraint that automatic timeouts shouldn't take effect if people are responsive but just don't finish their work in 2 weeks should become rephrased: if UX doesn't give any answer in 2(?) weeks the developer(s) should be allowed to proceed without them.
