This is an extremely common problem in Fedora: the de facto

admin does not have any commits to the package for a certain period of
time, e.g. three years.
It would help if other people besides the main admin could change the Bugzilla
assignee. After all, if the main admin is non-responsive, it's going to be
difficult to get them to do it.
To avoid being removed you could simply push an
empty commit.
The problem with empty commits is that they cause a release bump when
rpmautospec is used which probably isn't desired. I guess this isn't the end
of the world.
There are also some packages which legitimately haven't been updated upstream
in three years.
