Hi Neal,

In general, I'm not a fan of these "group users" because it means
there's nobody to hold responsible Fedora side, and frequently the

It might be time to consider adding rules to restrict this practice if
the problems continue.
This thread is about members of packaging SIG FAS groups (e.g., db-sig
that are not fake users) that are synced to src.fp.o but not part of the
packaging group. The mention of private mailing lists was about these
SIGs' private lists.fp.o mailing lists that are used for Bugzilla bugs.
You may be thinking of my "Invalid maintainers for freeipa and
retrace-server packages" thread from a couple weeks ago. These packages
were indeed owned by fake "group users" (users that have the name of a
group and are not clearly tied to a single person). The issue was fixed
for freeipa (thanks!), but I have not heard back from the retrace-server
maintainers, and I wouldn't be surprised if other packages have this
same problem. (A few moments later...) And it turns out there are other
packages affected. I filed [1] so FESCo can decide what to do here.
