So the issue is not that queued submissions aren't handled, but...
what? I thought the problem was unhandled submissions, caused by
negligent maintainers. But if that problem is not there, what problem
are negligent maintainers causing?

It sounds like they're causing too much extra work for the admins.  What if the system checked for "Out of Office" bounces and used that to know that a maintainer was not going to be able to handle the submission for a while?
