Some questions.
How does this work with the renamed packages or packages of which
the maintainer changed several times from initial?

* Well, there may be the case that the name of the package changed
   several times (this especially happens for new packages)
* Maintainers also change.
* After some long time, the "current" maintainer askes, "well,
   where is the initial review request?" This becomes a trouble
   especially when the previous maintainer is missing, some people
   (like sponsors) puts the package into "orphaned" category,
   and then some other fedorabugs member takes over the maintainership
   (and at the time the name of the package changed from initial).
