Unless I am wrong, there are currently 2 possibilities to have
comaintainership:

* 'full comaintainership': added in a field of owners.list. 
See 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure
for the procedure. The comaintainer has full access to all the 
branches, and may even change te ACLs (unless I'm wrong).

* tacit comaintainership: agree with maintainer, and be comaintainer.
somebody should then ask for an EPEL branch (as in 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure
) and the primary package maintainer should adjust ACLs such that
the comaintainer can touch on the EPEL branches.
