I was operating under a misunderstanding. Bugzilla is currently marking 
koan bugs as owned by the orphan owner. You are correct that koan was 
merged into cobbler. I thought that since the bugs were marked as owned 
by the orphan owner and koan is marked as orphaned in the package 
database that somehow the koan rpm was orphaned even though the cobbler 
package is not (usage of "rpm" and "package" very intentional).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&classification=Fedora&component=koan&list_id=2014071&product=Fedora&query_format=advanced

I think what needs to happen is that the cobbler package maintainer 
needs to be marked as the default bug owner for koan bugs in bugzilla, 
and any existing koan bugs be re-assigned. Anyone know who I have to 
talk to about doing that?
