sdljava was orphaned by me, the previous owner. The reason is that I
am no longer interested in maintaining this package. I choose to
retain access to the package because I want to have ability to fix
important bugs in already released Fedora versions (28 and 29) without
having to obey the provenpackager policy.

The standard operating procedure is clear - give package to the orphan
user and announce it on devel list so that anyone interested
(including comaintainers) can adopt orphaned package. This is exactly
what I did.
