Good idea, but I think we've left the realm of "simple" with this one
:)  Plus there's no guarantee the cc list on the review bug will be
the same as the ongoing cc list; and the person executing this ought
to be the packager -- who will hopefully either have it installed
already or a rpm somewhere on their system.

This is just aimed at being an extremely limited, one-function tool,
to do the initial add to owners.list.  For anything more, Steve's
owners-maint is much more appropriate.
