I sent a mail to this very list one week ago:

Subject: Taking ownership of libcmpiutil and libvirt-cim
to avoid them being retired, never got an answer.
At the time visiting
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/libcmpiutil
didn't show any option to take ownership, was that a temporary
failure, I'm sure I checked and was logged in, weird ...
Sorta. These packages were orphaned due to the maintainer not signing the
FPCA. When that script was run, I failed to properly set the status to
Orphaned which left you unable to take ownership. Sorry for missing your
earlier email about the problem and thanks for taking them now!
