I think 6-month auto-fail with a further 1-week warning is fair. If a trope in the making has been sitting idle for that long without any notice of extenuating circumstances from the maker, and said maker can't be bothered even with a week's notice to drop by and do something, even to beg for an extension, it's highly unlikely that the maker is going to come back for it again.
