Don't think that's wise.

Instead drop them completely; give everyone again a chance to *easily* 
participate everywhere in Fedora without being in committees; those 
should watch and coordinate/decide only if needed. IOW: it's a wiki, we 
should use it like one!

But from older discussions I'm well aware that you guys don't want to 
that. I think that's totally stupid(¹), but that's just my option. Thus 
move everything out of Packaging/ that is meant to be modified for 
ordinary packagers; that will avoid a lot of confusion, as it'll be 
crystal clear for everyone then that Packaging/ is completely maintained 
by the Packaging Committee.

(¹) note "that"; the packaging committee members are highly skilled 
people and I think they are doing a lot of good work; I just don't like 
the ACLs and the bureaucracy which is needed to get something improved; 
that is not specific to the Packaging Committee and has become a general 
problem in Fedora; I'm well aware that some of that is my fault from the 
days when I was more active/in FESCo
