So why isn't that fixed already?

Oh really? Since when? The Contributors page still says (after my package
is APPROVED):

---cut---
Identify Yourself as the Owner of the Package

Place your requests in the 'New Package' section at:
    * Extras/CVSSyncNeeded
with:
   1. The name of the package
   2. Your bugzilla account e-mail address
   3. A list of who, if anyone, should also be CC'd on bug reports
   4. A pointer to the review ticket

This will be used to set up the proper records in the owners database,
which is used for access to build the package, bugzilla population, and
other features. Once this is done, you may then import the package. 
---cut---

This wasn't necessary before (I could just add myself to owners.list) and
THAT's what I have issues with. Now I have to wait until someone manually
add something I used to be able to add myself. And I'm NOT notified when
this is done (or am I?). And no, subscribing to CVSSyncNeeded changes is
NOT an option.

Regards,
R.
