I believe so too [0], but that's not what I replied to.  See above, the reply 
was to the chapter titled "More Branches on Existing Packages".  IMO there's 
little reason to notify everyone on fedora-package-review about additional 
branch requests done later (probably 2 mails per request as the flag gets 
toggled between states).

[0] OTOH, I'm not sure about the fedora-package-review list being an 
appropriate way to tell everyone about package owner change requests either 
(a post to fedora-maintainers by a human involved would be much better), but 
that's not the point here, and I'm not expecting the CVS admin flags stuff to 
be a silver bullet to everything.
