If you want bugs to be addressed, Fedora Bugzilla is the right place for that.
That reminds me - time to take the monthly look at my bugzilla, at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160940 ======================================= Bugzilla Bug 160940 ? anaconda bombs out on Sony Picturebook while "Reading package information" =======================================
No, no progress. Might as well have written to the Pope.
Only response I got was to ask for the Traceback, which I had already given, in full, in the original report.
I posted another bugzilla on the kdesktop site, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718. Again, no response except from others saying they had the same problem. Someone wrote to me with a patch, which worked (after re-compiling xorg). I reported this, but got no response. I wrote to half-a-dozen people mentioned in the source, but none replied.
Then, about a year later the patch was applied, again without mention in the bugzilla.
So I'm afraid my experience is that posting a bugzilla is unlikely to be a rewarding experience.
Also the way the bugzilla site is arranged is like something out of the ark. Someone ought to ask themselves, "Is this the best way of organising a bug-reporting site? Will people find it simple to report bugs? Will people find it simple to search through the site."
As far as I am concerned, the answer is "No. No. No."
