Earlier this week on the CentOS devel list I proposed an interim method
to help make it easier for centos contributions to flow into epel.

Essentially the proposal is that CentOS would like a 'curator' group
(name can be determined later) similar to the wrangler's group.

Members of this group would be responsible for shepherding packages
designated by the various SIG efforts in CentOS through the process of
getting these packages in epel. This means that rather than having an
individual owner, packages would have group ownership. Members of this
group will be required to have access to make package modifications on
the CentOS side so that they meet the packaging standards for EPEL.
Additionally, it would help to have an EPEL proven packager as part of
the group as well in order to help make things move a little quicker.

Would this be acceptable from an EPEL standpoint? What would be required
from an EPEL perspective to make this happen?
