primary maintainer doesn't really matter.  Bugzilla doesn't do owners
per release, there is just one owner for Fedora, and one for EPEL.

The matter of watchcommits is interesting, but I wonder if that really
needs to be tied to pkgdb or if in the future we have a better way of
"subscribing" to data regarding a particular package/branch/whatever.
