There is work planned to be able to show in the UI of src.fedoraproject.org the
point of contact for the Fedora and the Fedora EPEL components as they would
appear in bugzilla.
This is not a per-branch identification but it would be consistent with the
level of granularity we have with bugzilla.

That should be correct, though currently the script that syncs from dist-git to
bugzilla is running into a number of issues so it may not entirely work as
intended. It's in our backlog.

It was a conscious decision and in that sense is not a bug.

I believe we still have a dump of the pkgdb database from when we decommissioned
it but at this point (2 years later now?) I doubt we want to get back to it.

Committers have commit access
Admins have commit access and can administer the settings of the project.
Both of them are co-maintainer since they can commit.


Hoping this helps,
