Only proven-packagers in limited situations or people who have been
granted access by the package owner.

But it is. The package owner has full control over the package and can
add or remove co-maintainers as they see fit.


I believe the term 'package owner' was killed several years ago in Fedora. Maintainers are custodians and do not own the package. 
 
But now we see that someone can add other people to co-maintainers. This
is terrible.
