I realized that after I clicked send, but I don’t think it really makes a difference.
The main admin for many of the packages maintained by the crypto team is no longer the person that takes care of the tickets by default.

For example, Sahana used to maintain stunnel, but I am now the main maintainer. OpenSSL’s officially owned by Sahana, but Dima is doing most of the work. ca-certificates is now by default handled by Frantisek, not Bob. We never bothered changing this in pagure. We shuffle packages around roughly once a year depending on workload and interest. What matters is that somebody reacts to tickets filed against a package, and we do that.
