Currently these people are members of the EPEL Steering Committee:

    * Mike McGrath ( mmcgrath )
    * Michael Stahnke ( stahnma )
    * Kevin Fenzi ( nirik )
    * Xavier Lamien ( SmootherFrOgZ )
    * Andy Gospodarek ( Gospo )
    * Jeff Sheltren ( Jeff_S )
    * Karsten Wade ( quaid )
    * Stephen J Smoogen ( smooge ) (Chair) 

Who of these people has the necessary privileges to shut off this thing,
which is broken for many months? My reply from last week is unanswered.
Do you think it's right to spam your packagers with crap in the reports
just because you misconfigured repoclosure?
