Did you at least check if the packages were used by something else? ...

And as I said, a new self-service UI for setting bugzilla overrides
for Fedora branches vs. EPEL branches is being worked on for
src.fedoraproject.org.

That's because per-branch maintainership is no longer "supported", as
mentioned on recent other threads.
It seems the "support" in PkgDB was also a "lie", because BugZilla
doesn't even support default assignees per-branch.

For new tickets, I'd understand this. But for old tickets to get
reassigned to you - I agree that that's weird.
I wonder who the previous assignee was, and why it was decided to
reassign now, after 5 years?
