Right, but we have a process to identify inactive maintainers. If
there is no maintainer left, the package is orphaned. The ownership
should never be moved to the group. It is much harder to identify
identify packages which are assigned to certain group, because the
groups often are active.
And as I said, being member of ruby-packagers-sig, it is not straight
forward to remove group from packages. Even though it has admin
privileges, it cannot be removed from the package by the group member.
Maybe I should report this somewhere officially ...
Here we go:
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/10882
Not sure if this is the right place, maybe it should have been reported
against pagure-dist-git ...

But this is typically problem of inactive maintainers. And I am
looking forward to the current activity of identifying the inactive
packagers. I truly believe this cleanup will help to deliver better
content.
