There's also the CVS web interface:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/owners/owners.list?root=extras&rev=.&view=auto

And just to point out, depending on the use case, there are already
several sources for that for regular users, in more human friendly
format than the above:

If one just wants to know the name of the maintainer:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedora%20Extras

If one wants to report a bug or suggest enhancements etc, use Bugzilla.

If one wants to know who has been working on the package lately, there's
the package changelog.
