Well, if FESCO thinks this was a good idea ... I think you guys stopped 
half-ways: You better should have launched AWOL-processes against these 
maintainers.

I intended to take this one, but the packagedb doesn't offer me an 
option to take it:

C.f.:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/perl-Class-InsideOut

This package appears to be owned by owner "orphan" and doesn't offer the 
"Take Ownership" button, I see on packages listed on
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/orphans
