Please excuse me going completely offtopic here - for some reason I'm getting this thread addressed directly to me. If someone's adding me as bcc please don't, I have nothing to do with this.

I'd like to add that by default we trust each other, in the spirit of
being excellent to each other. In this particular case,
co-maintainership shares responsibility but does not hand it over
completely (the handing-over bit can be done at a later stage, if
necessary). Every change/commit/message is public, so there are plenty
of opportunities to catch any errors.
Given that we do not often meet our Fedora colleagues in person, it is
not viable to expect members of the community to prove trustworthiness
through personal relationships. We assume the best in each other, and if
things do get hairy, we have open community channels, processes, and
overseeing bodies through which changes can be emended.
