no.

Agreed.

IMHO, a way to just mail the owner(s) of a copr would be enough. 
If there needs to be a discussion between the owners and interested
folks, they can always take that discussion to whatever medium they
like. 

Copr is a bit of a odd case as it's in our Cloud and not Fedora
Infrastructure proper, but our policy at: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Licensing
Notes that all our software is Free Software, so I really think using a
non free service isn't an option here.
