First off, don't say anything.  Almost all maintainers are very
responsive.  If you don't hear back after a while, a repost is
acceptable, and usually expected.  If you still don't hear back, oh
well...

But for you to try to impose your project deadlines on community members
is not a very nice thing to do.  Odds are, none of them really care
about your deadlines, as they have their own, differing schedules, and
priorities :)

Hope this helps,
