Why not keep sending it to fedora-extras-commits at redhat.com like it was done 
before and also notify the previous owner/comaintainers and e-mail address in 
case of changes? Why are changes to owners.list not sent to 
fedora-extras-commits at redhat.com anymore?

When you want to use Bugzilla, why not create a Product "CVS Staff" with the 
same Components (Packages) as Extras/Core and manage CVS requests there? Then 
you have everything you need but do not need to add unrelated information to 
the review tickets. Afaics you do not even need flags anymore because the CVS 
staff can query for new tickets, to see what needs to be done.
