package maintainer without a package

Hello...

  I've been using a few minor packages from EPEL (like clamav) for a
while.  Now I am about to start using a package that we rely heavily on
(Sun gridengine) so I would like to help maintain the EPEL gridengine
package to keep it current.  I've read through most of the Fedora
maintainer documentation.  One of the steps was to add a package to
bugzilla for review.  What if you do not have a package?  Can I be "just
a helper" without being an owner of any packages?   Specifically I would
like to help get the current gridengine 6.2u2_1 into the koji EPEL
system (assuming that this is OK with the current owner) and fix the
couple build problems I ran into locally.  

I couldn't find an answer in the fedora project wiki.  Should I just
start the process of getting an account for koji and see what happens?
Any other pointers?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
