Also the "Getting a Fedora package in EPEL"[0] procedure is not in sync with what CVS admins require, as they might require a confirmation that a maintainer has been asked: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243716#c15 But this is not what the procedure describes.

I can add clarification there. Basically he was just asking: "have you talked to the Fedora maintainer about maintaining this in EPEL".
The answer could just have been "yes, I have".
Are you sure? Because I believe I told him in IRC that the gitolite maintainer asked the perl-Text-Markdown maintainer via e-mail, because the gitolite maintainer wrote this in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548324#c20, which I referred to in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243716#c11
Also on IRC the CVS admin said something that the perl-Text-Markdown maintainer required that he acked all EL branch requests, before they would be performed. Hey also used this in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243716#c12
Nevertheless, if there was only some miscommunication and it still will be enough to just ask the maintainer and mention this on a branch request to get the branch for EPEL done, then everything is fine.
