(On the policy)

Yes, first attempt should be through bugzilla, but we are human
beings, so it happens that a direct ping is necessary.
The policy may be subject to interpretation, but it hints that this
process should be used when you *cannot* reach the maintainer.
If you have time to mail the list, you have time to mail the person first.

"and asks if anyone knows how to contact the maintainer." => It's
crystal clear (to me at least) that it assumes that you could not
reach the
maintainer through the email registered in FAS (we used to have
regular pings from the system to verify that users are still
monitoring these).

If you want access to a package that I happen to be a "Point of
Contact" (which is semantically different that owner and it's on
purpose), just ask.
Nobody owns anything in Fedora.

Regards,
H.
