Looks better but I would suggest recommending co-maintainership rather
than a complete hand off. If a Fedora package maintainer has shown no
interest when asked and a new maintainer has taken over and been working
on EPEL which has a different release strategy and policies then it is
better than the existing maintainer in EPEL work together with the
Fedora maintainer and help in any transition process or continue as a team.
