I'm not sure if that's worth the trouble, as the whole game in 99,5 percent of the cases boils down to "Not maintaining packages in EPEL" and "send Fedora owner a mail and ask what to do".
Example: Say package foo is missing in EPEL; assume further that Hans wants to see it there, but the package is owned by Bill
if Bill is in ContributorStatusNo then Hans can just request the branch
if Bill is in ContributorStatusYes, then Hans sends Bill a mail asking
how to move on and/or how to share the work
- if Bill is not in ContributorStatus{Yes,No}, then Hans sends Bill a
mail asking how to move on and/or how to share the work
- even if Bill has a special note/comment in ContributorStatusYes (like
Ville has) then Hans will nevertheless send Bill a mail asking how to move on and/or how to share the work
Thus I'd say ContributorStatusYes is unneeded. But maybe I'm missing a use-case in my example?
No, I think you are right. I still see some interest in documenting the involvment in EPEL, but this is likely not to be the right place to do it. So should just go.
