The problem is that stuff is not documented enough and key persons do
not have time to help/accept patches. AFAIK Luke is the only person
deploying new versions of Bodhi for example. Therefore it usually takes
ages until a patch moves from trac to the live system. Also most of the
inner architecture of Fedora's release process is not visible for most
people, making it very hard to improve stuff.
