I think the right way to fix this is to file a ticket with infrastructure. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Hi Karel, Aha - thanks for explaining what happened. I just tried releasing package ownership using the pkgdb web interface, but that doesn't seem to work... will continue to investigate.

Re: How did I end up as the package owner for emacs?
Hi Jonathan, you became the owner in the pkgdb when Daniel Novotny and I agreed to transfer the package ownership to me. We discovered that the next person with commit access become the owner when a package is orphaned, and the package owner cannot be changed in pkgdb. I asked about the solution on IRC, and when I got no answer I postponed it. From my point of view it is not important who is the owner when I can fix bugs and commit changes. I apologize to you for not sending an email about the change, that would have been be the right thing. Nonetheless, I am also interested in how to change the owner to certain person from the list of package maintainers.

I've previously been a co-maintainer (i.e. watchbugzilla, watchcommits, commit, approveacls), but haven't requested package ownership at any point, so I'm wondering what turn of events brought this about, and whether it's a bug with the pkgdb. If a package is orphaned by its owner, does the next person with commit access become the package owner or something like that? If so, I think that needs a bit more thinking. I'm not really grumbling about become the package owner (though I'm not sure I have enough knowledge of emacs internals to take on that role), though I am genuinely confused as to how this happened. Unfortunately the emacs package does seem to get bumped around various RH employees - it'd be nice if there was a bit more communication about this when it happens.
