Yep Fedora is community project and same applies for Red Hatters working on
Fedora - they are members of Fedora community and they usually use the same
account for their work responsibilities but also for own packages they do
in theirs free time. So usually when someone leaves company, the replacement
is found and packages are reassigned as Johannes proposed but this does not
apply for other packages they work because they want.
