Why should we? I don't see why this should be of any relevance.

Somebody being involved into upstream only is an indication for somebody 
being familiar with a package's contents.
It doesn't tell us anything about his familiarity with Fedora-packaging 
nor about his package's quality.

Unfortunately, experience also tells, there are occations, in which 
people, who are close to upstream, sometimes fail to apply a neutral 
view on their works.

Right, a person's $dayjob's affiliation should not be of any importance 
in Fedora.
