Adding oneself to initialcc-list had been the way to denote co-maintainership in FE - It had rarely been used, but it had been used (I did). Also, I am sorry, finding this acl and "ask before import" to be counter-productive and non-helpful. 1. It's yet another bureaucratic hurdle to drive people away from Fedora. 2. It's a big push away from "collaboration" towards "province dukes controlling their packages/fencing off against others". 3. How do you want to handle "emergency situations"? In the past, I've repeatedly silently intervened into packages, if they were causing damage.
