A lot of packages get stuck in -proposed for a long time due to introducing test regressions, FTBFS, causing uninstallability, or other policies. Britney should determine the uploader after it's clear that the package is permanently stuck and send an email notification.
Britney's policies have two different states REJECTED_TEMPORARILY and REJECTED_PERMANENTLY for that; for FTBFS it's pretty clear, but uninstallability might be temporary or permanent.
A good first step would be to only notify because of Policy failures, and ignore ftbfs/uninstallability for now. |

So this should mail the uploader and sponsor either as soon as britney knows that the excuse is invalid, or it has been in -proposed for > 2 days (to catch tests which are eternally in progress, for example).
