OK, so a good approach would by trying to get the blessing of the 
"owners" in question?

2nd question, as I'm not an existing maintainer, and not bringing a new 
package to the party, and therefore have no "normal" route via fedotra 
account, cvs access, sponsorship, reviews etc, does this make it 
difficult to become a maintainer? Or should I try to find "an easy" 
package to bring into extras and do it that way?
