I am paid by Red Hat to work full time on Fedora release engineering,
looking after Fedora Secondary arches and to represent EPEL inside of
Red Hat. There is also a Red Hat employee who has Fedora PPC release
engineering as part of his task list along with other internal Red Hat
tasks that he does. both of us Report to the same boss.  who is not
Tom. there is also a lot of developers who have Fedora and internal Red
Hat development and package maintenance in the list of tasks that they
do. as well as the Red Hat employees who do Fedora tasks purely
voluntarily you can not assume that because someone is a Red Hat
employee they are working on Fedora for Red Hat.
