2 Richard: I think we've hit the cause of misunderstanding here. Many
people around me (including) me use the word "own", because it's shorter
(faster to say/write), even though we mean maintain (in a contributor
sense). It's a slang for us. I don't know anyone around ne who would take
the word "own" literally. The same applies for me.

2 Reindl: And I actually didn't write anything like this - nor I think
anything like this. I thought my follow-up e-mail explained it clearly
enough.

And trying to discuss the meaning of "own" in Fedora package context is
getting us off-topic... So to reiterate - I don't have a problem with
proven packagers fixing something in packages that I maintain. My problem
is when by doing that they create unnecessary more work (and/or some
"hidden work landmine" as nicely stated by Adam), because they do not
follow the Proven Packager Policy, which was IMHO create to also address
exactly this specific issue...

Anyway, I have already apologized to people who follow the Proven Packager
Policy and whom I could offend, and I don't see this dicussion progressing
anywhere. We're starting to beat a dead-horse here...
