Supposing there is a package for which I am the co-maintainer in EPEL but not Fedora.

I request commit access for the "Devel" branch and all branches get switched to "Awaiting Review", including the EPEL branches for which I am already "Approved". The EPEL branches are off the right hand edge of my screen so I don't actually notice this. I confirm my request and now find I am no longer co-maintainer for EPEL. I cannot revert this mistake myself because I am only a committer, not an admin.

I understand why it is useful to set all branches to "Awaiting Review" state but I think it would be an improvement if branches that were already "Approved" were left unchanged when someone requests commit access for a different branch.
