I can add clarification there. Basically he was just asking: "have you
talked to the Fedora maintainer about maintaining this in EPEL".
The answer could just have been "yes, I have".
Are you sure? Because I believe I told him in IRC that the gitolite
maintainer asked the perl-Text-Markdown maintainer via e-mail, because
the gitolite maintainer wrote this in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548324#c20, which I referred
to in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243716#c11
Also on IRC the CVS admin said something that the perl-Text-Markdown
maintainer required that he acked all EL branch requests, before they
would be performed. Hey also used this in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243716#c12
Nevertheless, if there was only some miscommunication and it still will
be enough to just ask the maintainer and mention this on a branch
request to get the branch for EPEL done, then everything is fine.
