I don't think so: in past it was always clear who wants to maintain the 
package further (at least because the maintainer changed his contact 
from @redhat.com to some private address).

I'd rather set now this policy for RH employees (which will cover 99 % 
of cases) than discuss anything like secondary mail addresses and 
various situations which can raise up with other companies for the next 
month. The RH environment is clear to us and easy for manage to you (I 
mean there are no actual problems with handling this within RH), am I right?

Regards,
Milos
