during the last week or so, I saw some (about 10?) review requests
with email addresses @learn.senecac...., (nearly) all with the same
issues:
- - they found an outdated package in fedora
- - updated that and requested a review for the updated package

The right way to get an outdated package updated is to file a bug
against that package. You'll get a grade A+, if you also submit a patch.
