In the ideal world, we would just add checks so that people couldn't get
into this state. But thats going to require a lot of coordination/those
checks might be very difficult right now. I wonder though, if we could
get the new account system to help us here: I think there was a plan to
have it allow for a 'bugzilla email'. Could it perhaps also verify the
bugzilla email and have some 'bugzilla ok' property? 

Then, pagure could check it before allowing someone to watch/own/be
point of contact on a package and tell them to go set it before
allowing?
