Some don't like it that another name appears in "their" %changelog.
Some even overwrite/revert changes with their next commit, because either
they don't pay attention to the commit notification mails or they "force"
into git their spec file working-copies and don't care what somebody else
may have committed. (no examples available, but it has happened within
fedora cvs and git)

Pkgdb shows a "provenpackager - group members can commit?" checkbox.
For which packages is this box unchecked?

In general,
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Who_is_allowed_to_modify_which_packages
is a good start.

If "touching packages" also included "doing version upgrades at random
times without taking care of a package in general", it would/could get
less funny and [much] more difficult. There are some, who would like
permission to mess with the package collection as they see fit and not
be responsible for the touched packages otherwise.

Happy to hear that. I'm sure the people who get rid of the desktop vendor
prefix in hundreds of packages will receive a honorary mention occasionally.
