I have not; I supposed that the respective package maintainers would be
in a better position than me to pester their upstreams.  These bugs are
the ones that I've not gotten a response on from the maintainer, so
perhaps the correct question to be asking is whether the Fedora
maintainer is asleep at the wheel ...
