No, that's fedora-packaging AIUI.  Fedora-maintainers is simply a list 
for issuing information for all maintainers.  If there's new policy that 
affects maintainers, it gets sent to -maintainers.  If there's a rebuild 
coming up that all maintainers need to notice, it gets sent to 
-maintainers.  If someone rebuilds a library which others might depend 
on, -maintainers.  Else, devel/rawhide stuff to -devel and packaging 
issues to -packaging.
