Yes, unfortunately Red Hat employee changes aren't easily visible
to those outside Red Hat, except through inference such as the
orphaning you saw.

I'm likely to end up on the hook for sevctl in RHEL / CentOS stream
as part of our virtualization stack, so makes sense for me to be a
maintainer in Fedora too. I'm always happy if packages have more than
one maintainer though to remove single points of failure.
