A few problems need to be discussed and solved:
* When a release of Fedora Core becomes legacy, not seldomly a Fedora

Fedora Core and stops preparing/testing/publishing updates for the legacy
versions. Since not every package maintainer would "support" old legacy
branches, we need a way to mark individual package branches as "free for
adoption by Fedora Extras Legacy". With this comes the need to monitor
Maybe, before adoption by fedora extras legacy team, it should be possible
to have a possibility for individual contributors that are interested
in older branches of the project to take over maintainance of the older
branches. This could simply achieved by saying so to the maintainer of
the active branches and adding oneself to the owners.list to get the bugs
for that package, import the cvs package and work only on the old branches.

corresponding bugzilla tickets of specific branches. It may be necessary
to give legacy branches of Fedora Extras a new "Product" name in bugzilla,
so a default package owner can be different compared with the primary
owner for active releases.
I don't think it is really needed in many cases, unless the primary owner
don't want to get the bugs of the older releases. As long as he doesn't
have to fix them I think he won't mind receiving the bug reports. I am
more for a comaintainership with verbal agreement on who do what.
+1 (yes thats all I have to say).
