I'm not necessarily opposed to this, but I'm not sure I'm in favor of
it. It certainly beats a company using a shared account against policy
to allow for multiple maintainers. On the other hand, what are the
practical use cases here? As Kevin and Zbigniew said in
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2929 , interest-based groups instead of
employer-based groups seem like a better approach. Seems like the main
place this would be used is when the org is the upstream project, and
even then, an interest-based group open to the broader community seems
more in the Fedora spirit. So to address the specific questions:

> Should such groups require FESCo approval?

Yes. These groups should be exceptional cases.

> If so, what would be requirements to approve/deny?

The group must represent something for with there is no broader
community interest. (e.g. I'm interesting in maintaining packages
produced by FunnelFiascCorp, but there's no broader FunnelFiasco SIG
because it's not a broader thing like weather or program management)

> Should we require some documentation? ie, should the group have to make
> a doc/wiki page explaining what it's for and how to reach group owners
> in case of problems?

No, because it won't be maintained. (I'd like to say yes, but I know
better) The fact that it's a group means we can see who the group
members are and thus can figure out how to contact them if needed.
