I'm not sure if that's worth the trouble, as the whole game in 99,5 
percent of the cases boils down to "Not maintaining packages in EPEL" 
and "send Fedora owner a mail and ask what to do".

Example: Say package foo is missing in EPEL; assume further that Hans 
wants to see it there, but the package is owned by Bill

- if Bill is in ContributorStatusNo then Hans can just request the branch

- if Bill is in ContributorStatusYes, then Hans sends Bill a mail asking 
how to move on and/or how to share the work

- if Bill is not in ContributorStatus{Yes,No}, then Hans sends Bill a 
mail asking how to move on and/or how to share the work

- even if Bill has a special note/comment in ContributorStatusYes (like 
Ville has) then Hans will nevertheless send Bill a mail asking how to 
move on and/or how to share the work

Thus I'd say ContributorStatusYes is unneeded. But maybe I'm missing a 
use-case in my example?
