That's exactly why we need proper support for group ownership in
pkgdb. In particular, a new developer joining a SIG should
AUTOMATICALLY get write access to all the packages (co)maintained by
that SIG.

Exactly.

How does one determine what SIGS exist?
How does one determine who is a member of a SIG?
How does one determine what packages a SIG controls?
All these are the known deficiencies/missing features of Fedora's infrastructure (esp. the packagedb) - there simply is no concept of "group ownership".

Likely, the simpliest apprach to implement "group ownership" would be handle this similar to "provenpackager", but with "limited/restricted privileges".
