+That is a bug fix; is there any other way a Mageia packager running
+mga1 can set/unset himself as a maintainer of a package in the
+official Mageia repos?
+
+That is not a "feature", that's a "basic requirement" in repository
+access and management tool for a distro, that was missing and is now
+available, that warrants an official update, IMHO...
