I may be one of those people, as I recently needed Xapian bindings for EPEL 8 for a few of my own packages. It may have been my mistake, but my assumption so far was that if I were to ask for the creation of the EPEL 8 branch for any given package, I would automatically become a (co-)maintainer for that branch. So, of course, in my head, but I thought it was the case more formally too, I have become a (co-)maintainer of Xapian at least on EPEL 8. And if you need some help for other branches, count me in. Sorry for the miscommunication, if any. I naively thought that the interactions on Pagure and Bugzilla (where those EPEL 8 branches were requested in the first place: any change on those Bugzilla records trigger emails to all the stakeholders; so, nothing has been hidden here) were explicit enough, and didn't want to bother you by duplicating those messages. And if, for any reason of your own, you do not wish my continuing to be a co-maintainer of Xapian on at least EPEL 8, then be it; we will have to find a solution or I'll have to orphan my own packages on EPEL 8 altogether. Kind regards Denis
