That's true, and I don't have strong objections to making it longer. How
often did it happen though? We don't end up getting too many replies
past the 7 day window.
I'll bump it to 14 days for a few months and see if it changes anything.
I see that for recent AUTOSEL patches you're still using 7 days. In fact, it
seems you may have even decreased it further to 5 days:

Any update on your plan to increase it to 14 days?
BTW, another cause of this is that the commit (66f99628eb24) was AUTOSEL'd after
only being in mainline for 4 days, and *released* in all LTS kernels after only
being in mainline for 12 days. Surely that's a timeline befitting a critical
security vulnerability, not some random neural-network-selected commit that
wasn't even fixing anything?
