Yes to everything said here. Additional technical info: In our current dist-git pagure instance, the main package admin becomes the "EPEL bz assignee" by default. In particular, if someone orphans the EPEL branches, then the Fedora main admin gets "bugged" by anything filed against the EPEL package. And, together with the conversation in the mentioned bug about the epel-sig, it's no wonder someone would perceive this as bullying. Indeed, no Fedora packager is obliged to maintain EPEL branches. The situation with bz makes it feel different. BTW: Last time I checked, documentation still mentioned epel-sig to be added as comaintainers. If it's really dysfuctional or non-existing, the last one to leave should turn off the lights.
