2 Richard: I think we've hit the cause of misunderstanding here. Many people around me (including) me use the word "own", because it's shorter (faster to say/write), even though we mean maintain (in a contributor sense). It's a slang for us. I don't know anyone around ne who would take the word "own" literally. The same applies for me.
2 Reindl: And I actually didn't write anything like this - nor I think anything like this. I thought my follow-up e-mail explained it clearly enough.
And trying to discuss the meaning of "own" in Fedora package context is getting us off-topic... So to reiterate - I don't have a problem with proven packagers fixing something in packages that I maintain. My problem is when by doing that they create unnecessary more work (and/or some "hidden work landmine" as nicely stated by Adam), because they do not follow the Proven Packager Policy, which was IMHO create to also address exactly this specific issue...
Anyway, I have already apologized to people who follow the Proven Packager Policy and whom I could offend, and I don't see this dicussion progressing anywhere. We're starting to beat a dead-horse here...
