A package in the Fedora collection is maintained by at least one person.
It can happen that this person leaves without notice. It can also happen
that there are co-maintainers, but the multiple maintainers don't
communicate with eachother. And it can happen that the package "owner"
owns packages without being active, and co-maintainers expect the owner to
be more active or drop the package and not pretend that packages are
being maintained.
