$ repoquery --whatrequires 'libgdl-1.so.3'
anjuta-1:2.31.90.0-1.fc14.i686
gnome-python2-gdl-0:2.25.3-23.fc14.i686
gtranslator-0:1.9.11-3.fc14.i686
libgdl-devel-0:2.31.3-1.fc14.i686
solang-0:0.4.1-9.fc14.i686
valide-0:0.6.1-0.22.20103003svn511.fc14.i686

And "repoquery --whatrequires libgdl --alldeps" doesn't add more than
libgdl itself.

Well, not responding to bugzilla tickets, sometimes it's a packager's way
to signal "I don't have time for this and would appreciate if somebody
else took over".  Dunno whether that is the case for libgdl in Fedora
though, but given your interest in libgdl, it would make sense to get
involved in the Fedora package maintenance somehow.
