If the Fedora maintainer of the package has indicated there a desire not to participate in EPEL then the EPEL maintainer can request the branch directly via the standard procedures (e.g. via bugzilla currently). The EPEL maintainer should CC the Fedora maintainer on the branch request, so the Fedora maintainer knows that the package is maintained in EPEL as well. If it's unclear if the Fedora maintainer of the package participates in EPEL then the EPEL maintainer should mail the Fedora maintainer and ask about their plans for EPEL in general and the package at hand. If there is no answer within seven days the EPEL maintainer is free to request the EPEL branch (CC the Fedora maintainer here as well). If the Fedora maintainer later wants to participate in EPEL in general and maintain this package, then the EPEL maintainer of the package should hand primary per release maintainership back to the Fedora maintainer (and become comaintainer, if interested). ---- If that's not okay for FESCo or those reading this mail please speak up now before EPEL maintainers start acting according to it (note that I send a variant of this text this this list one week ago as RFC; no replies).
