 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Claiming_Ownership_of_a_Retired_Package
 defines the criteria to unretire packages in Fedora and in EPEL if the
 package is still active in Fedora. However there is now a request to
 unretire a package that is also retired in all branches for more than two
 weeks (at least in pkgdb):

 devel/2014-September/010212.html

 Therefore the question is, whether a re-review is required. IMHO it does
 not make much sense for EPEL, since there should be no guideline changes
 that require adjusting the EPEL SPEC files. Nevertheless, I would like to
 get a consensus on this.
