1) I did and didn't find one - which is interesting since redhat-lsb
hasn't been available since F12 on ARM due to build failures. I thought
someone else here might be looking at the same issue.
It has been discussed somewhere, possibly search the list archives.
2) My interest is relatively narrow, and specific to the redhat-lsb
from RHEL6 release (4.0-3) since that is what I am porting to ARM. We
are not up to rawhide as far as releases go on ARM, and my general
perception is that filing bugs against Fedora is somewhat futile,
especially for secondary arches since it'll be EOL-ed and bugs
auto-closed before anybody ever looks at it - and we're not up to
rawhide yet on ARM. And it is extremely demotivating to have all your
bug tickets auto-closed with all the time-consuming work that went into
filing them just because the release is EOL-ed rather than because the
bugs are fixed or even looked into. So the goal posts move, and you have
to re-research and re-file the tickets - for a few months before the
goal posts move again. So I don't bother any more since there should be
people who care about it much more than I do.
I find that a somewhat amusing and self defeating attitude. You come
to the fedora arm list about a Redhat EL (presumably actually CentOS
or similar) query, where if you file a bug against rawhide it will
likely be included in the eventual RHEL-7 so you won't have the
problem again but you complain about reporting bugs being a waste of
time. Some might see anything to do with a non Fedora distro (even if
its a derivative) posted to a Fedora list as a waste of their
time..... so its swings and roundabouts.

But since you asked, I have filed a bugzilla ticket:
