The winner has redeemed my gift, but not marked it received. How do I proceed?
If your gift has been activated or redeemed by the winner, and they have not left feedback after seven days, please create a support ticket to request received feedback. A support member will review and ticket, and if the gift is activated on the winner's Steam account, approve the ticket and update the feedback to received.

I guess the creator of the giveaway will make a ticket, give evidence that he sent the game, and support will suspend the person who didn't mark as received.
That being said, I don't think support ever ticked a "received" checkbox, I have no idea if they can.
Recently some asshole threw a tantrum and decided to mark all his won games as "not received" to show how badass he was, he was suspended but the games are still "not received".
edit : just read Bombaklats' post, turns out support can in fact change the status to "received".

There's a "Request received feedback" option in the drop-down menu when creating a ticket. I've never used it, but I thought that's what it was for.

That guy I'm referring to got a one-month long suspension and he marked almost 70 of the giveaways he won as not received.
special treatment ?

seems weird - I remember a situation where user marked just one GA - GA creator created a topic, explaining that he angered this winner later on somehow and as a "revenge" he falsely changed GA feedback to "Not received" - this guy ended with imminent Permaban. For just 1 Missuse of GA feedback, and here we're talking about missusung it almost 70 times o.O

Will the giveaway stay as Awaiting Feedback until he marks one of them?
Yes, at least up to 7 days. So far it is neither a non-activation, nor a feedback abuse.
User (I assume you are writing about the missing Detour winner) just registered 2 weeks ago and has a few games only. So either the site mechanics and/or the usage of a Steam key may be something new to him. You can try (or get someone to try) nagging him in Spanish.
Also, apparently he has not been online on Steam for 6 days, so maybe he can and will activate later. He still has some 4 days to do that according to the 7-day activation deadline (FAQ again, see all occurrences of seven).

Let's suppose I've made a giveaway and I send the winner his game as a gift, he accepts it but doesn't activate the gift and doesn't mark it as received even after I message him to do both. What happens then? Will the giveaway stay as Awaiting Feedback until he marks one of them? Let's say I also have proof that the user has accepted the gift, will support mark the giveaway as Received and do whatever is done when a winner doesn't activate his game.
Oh and here is some Bad Rats Online
