But, he is the maintainer:
$ mgarepo maintdb get kdebase4-workspace
mikala
$ mgarepo maintdb get soprano
mikala
$ mgarepo maintdb get qt4
mikala
(Granted, the maintainers database currently doesn't cater to teams, and I
have no background of how the KDE team is working at present).
While we don't have a finalised packager's policy, the conventional meaning of
the 'maintainer' is he/she who has final authority over a package. This is
implied by some of the existing policies which assign specific
responsibilities to the maintainer:
<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=updates_policy">http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=updates_policy</A>
<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=bug_policy">http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=bug_policy</A>
While mikala is the maintainer of the packages, and until the packager's
policy is completed, common courtesy dictates that you respect the decisions
of the person who is impacted more (due to having more responsibilities) by
changes you want.

As it should be at persent, based on the output above.

</I>
I note that to someone who hasn't been following everything in detail, that it
seems you need to communicate better with, and respect the decisions of, the
people whose packages (and contribution) you are affecting.
