How to take ownership of a package in rawhide branch? - Was: [Taking ownership of the orphaned packages: bytelist, jcodings, jvyamlb]

I'm trying to complete the step 3 of the "Claiming Ownership of an 
Orphaned Package Procedure" [1] that says:
"3. Press the "Take Ownership" button for each active branch that you 
want to maintain."

However, I don't see such buttons associated with the rawhide for all 
mentioned packages, i.e. bytelist, jcodings, and jvyamlb.
How I can take ownership of the packages in the devel branch, but not in 
Fedora 11?

Thanks,
