/me takes a quick look.

The list contains corsepiu, which according to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatusNo
doesn't want to be a EPEL Contributer and according to
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugzilla?tg_format=plain
is not maintaining any packages in EPEL directly. Maybe he's 
co-maintainer somewhere to make sure he sees commits, but the script did 
not catch that.

And note, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatusNo IMHO 
definitely should stay to give people a chance to say "Please don't bug 
me with EPEL at all (not even mails asking if I want to maintain the 
package)" The page IMHO best stays separately and is not merged into 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatus, as that makes 
using the page contents in scripts a lot easier.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatusYes OTHO should go; 
it should never have existed IMHO.
