Definitely no - This would void the meaning of provenpackager.
Where is the problem in maintainers of packages like mpfr to add themselves as comaintainers or simply to communicate with the maintainers of the packages of their library's client. IMO, you are trying to make a bureaucratic mountain of a mole hill of a problem, which had not been a serious one ever since fedora is around: SONAME breakages trigger a series of "breakage mails" and people usually react upon in it.
