Hi Jonathan,
you became the owner in the pkgdb when Daniel Novotny and I agreed to
transfer the package ownership to me. We discovered that the next person
with commit access become the owner when a package is orphaned, and the
package owner cannot be changed in pkgdb. I asked about the solution on
IRC, and when I got no answer I postponed it. From my point of view it
is not important who is the owner when I can fix bugs and commit changes.
I apologize to you for not sending an email about the change, that would
have been be the right thing.
Nonetheless, I am also interested in how to change the owner to certain
person from the list of package maintainers.
Best regards,
Karel

Hi,
Sometime in the past few weeks I've ended up as the package owner for
emacs, without actually requesting it. I've previously been a
co-maintainer (i.e. watchbugzilla, watchcommits, commit, approveacls),
but haven't requested package ownership at any point, so I'm wondering
what turn of events brought this about, and whether it's a bug with
the pkgdb. If a package is orphaned by its owner, does the next person
with commit access become the package owner or something like that? If
so, I think that needs a bit more thinking. I'm not really grumbling
about become the package owner (though I'm not sure I have enough
knowledge of emacs internals to take on that role), though I am
genuinely confused as to how this happened. Unfortunately the emacs
package does seem to get bumped around various RH employees - it'd be
nice if there was a bit more communication about this when it happens.
Cheers,
Jonathan.
