Yes, I realize that there are many packages that does not need to be touched and my proposal does not mean they will be. However, speaking about mass rebuild, it is interesting that there are still some packages from F14 and older Fedora releases. That is sign that these packages are un-maintained and they are FTBFS. Otherwise I have no other explanation how they survived the F15 mass rebuild. If there would be easier way how to get the maintainer ACLs, may be somebody would pick them up. Generally this proposal is as gentle to current maintainers and owners as it could be. And it is aimed to get more people involved. I thought that it would be easier acceptable for some of the maintainers then mass orphaning (which is my favorite), but sadly, I was wrong. Status quo is better it seems.
