[SoaS] Fwd: Retired Fedora packages with maintainers

[Chihurumnaya Ibiam]

I've asked Peter to add me as a maintainer to some of the packages listed
above.

sugar-presence-service was only used by etoys-sugar package which has now
been retired.
webkitgtk4 is now webkit2gtk3 and is still being maintained.
