Looks better but I would suggest recommending co-maintainership rather than a complete hand off. If a Fedora package maintainer has shown no interest when asked and a new maintainer has taken over and been working on EPEL which has a different release strategy and policies then it is better than the existing maintainer in EPEL work together with the Fedora maintainer and help in any transition process or continue as a team.
how about if we reword the last bit to be "... should strongly consider co-maintainership, but does not have to."
Yes, that would work.
