Why are you assuming the added EPEL maintainers want to fight the existing maintainers. That's an unwarranted negative viewpoint. People aren't asking to be EPEL maintainers with malicious intent to hijack a package, they are working to try to benefit the Fedora project in cases where the existing maintainer doesn't want to get involved in EPEL maint work. After demonstrating their skills in EPEL maint the main package maintainer may choose to invite them to get involved in Fedora branch maint too. Spreading the load is a very good thing, since so many package maintainers in Fedora are over-stretched in what they try to cope with. Reducing the bus factor is a good backup for time periods when real life prevents a maintainer doing work on Fedora. We should be openly welcoming people who want to get involved in EPEL, and assume positive intent by default because that will be the overwhealming common case.
