The policy is that Red Hat "buys" the domain name from the registrar
as it is the trademark owner and protector of various "Fedora" things.
It is done via an internal process that makes sure it is with the same
vendor so that we don't end up with huge transfer costs down the road
as has happened when things were done willy nilly (or someone
forgetting to renew a domain and it getting snatched and ransomed).
