Tom has proposed to make it significantly harder with...

"Perhaps it would be best to continue that naming tradition, ie 
establish a new Oracle-maintained Fedora package named "MySQL", instead 
of figuring out how to transition maintainership of the "mysql" 
packages. This would give us some more wiggle room about managing the 
transition --- in particular, it's hard to see how we manage 
Obsoletes/Provides linkages in any sane fashion if the "mysql" package 
name continues in use."

New package name,new package review etc. vs transferred (or co) 
maintainership all done to make the mariadb maintainers life easier.
