Hmm, is this a technical limitations of the fedora infrastructure or a
legal issue? I would not understand the latter.

So you indent to assign ownership to yourself but to allow perl-sig
member to work on your packages?

IMO, this doesn't encourage "perl-sig seniors" to work on these
packages, because it doesn't make the difference between "collectively
maintained" packages and packages being maintained by "individuals who
will shoot" when touching your packages apparent.

OK, the latter group could apply ACLs, but ... you are loosing the
"marketing factor" of "collective maintainership".
