new non-Fedora releases. There is no rigid process of getting the

there himself.
I think changing "ping dgilmore" to "file a ticket with rel-eng"
would
be an improvement. Not that Dennis doesn't do a bunch of stuff -- in
fact, exactly because he does, a ticket will help keep it from getting
lost.
Ideally, we'd have something so you could trigger the build
automatically, but I can see the work/reward of that being low if this
is infrequent.
For example for 4.0.8 which was released about a week ago there has
been no activity yet - meanwhile, f25 package is already stable.
A week and waiting for the F25 package to go stable seems fine in most
cases - but we'd want it to be much faster in the event of a serious
bugfix.
All I can do is ping the people over and over and hope one day the
version get pushed there. There is very limited feedback in regards
to what the status is now, if it compiles and there is no testing
besides mine.
A ticket will help, yeah.
And there needs to be a step in between "build made and available for
download $somewhere" and "build pushed to web server" where QA can do
the QAing.
