I'm not sure if that's worth the trouble, as the whole game in 99,5
percent of the cases boils down to "Not maintaining packages in EPEL"
and "send Fedora owner a mail and ask what to do".
Example: Say package foo is missing in EPEL; assume further that Hans
wants to see it there, but the package is owned by Bill
- if Bill is in ContributorStatusNo then Hans can just request the branch
- if Bill is in ContributorStatusYes, then Hans sends Bill a mail asking
how to move on and/or how to share the work
- if Bill is not in ContributorStatus{Yes,No}, then Hans sends Bill a
mail asking how to move on and/or how to share the work
- even if Bill has a special note/comment in ContributorStatusYes (like
Ville has) then Hans will nevertheless send Bill a mail asking how to
move on and/or how to share the work
Thus I'd say ContributorStatusYes is unneeded. But maybe I'm missing a
use-case in my example?
No, I think you are right. I still see some interest in documenting the
involvment in EPEL, but this is likely not to be the right place to do
it. So should just go.
