There is a script notifying Fedora maintainers on fedora-devel about (un)orphaned and (un)retired packages. This should also be done for EPEL.
Easyfix task: Find the script in ansible and adjust it for EPEL 5, 6 and 7 (make it accept a cmd line option or configuration file to specify the release and mailing list) and submit a patch here.
The proper place is not ansible but https://github.com/pypingou/fedora-owner-change
The script is announcing POC changes for Fedora and EPEL both, so do you want a) send the email to devel@lists.fp.o and epel-devel@lists.fp.o as well? b) adjust it so that it only sends the Fedora specific bits to devel@ and the epel specific bits to epel-devel@
It seems to be that a) might be a better solution so that EPEL maintainers are aware when a package changes POC in Fedora, while b) seems to me a little too restrictive.
Thoughts?

Maybe something in-between is best, send the mail as it is to EPEL but send only the Fedora parts to the Fedora devel list. Then we have both.
May I ask for the status of this case?
Hi pingou,
I want to work on this ticket. Please let me know, what all should I need to get this task done.

I have attached the patch into INFRA.
By pingou: The proper place is not ansible but https://github.com/pypingou/fedora-owner-change Should I also reflect the changes there?
Can you please nag about this after the freeze is done? (either here or in meeting).
I don't think this needs a freeze break, but we will want to close it out after freeze. :)
