The package got approved and I've just finished pushing updates to
bodhi. Yep, it does seem to make use of the db to store mails. 

The "installation" and "quick start" sections[1] detail how it's to be
used:

So, install the rpm, in our case

I can set up the cron job at the end, like I did earlier for askbot. I'm
not sure how to do the other steps on the server (is root access
required?). Could you folks tell me how to go about it, (or do it, if
you have the cycles yourself ;) )

I'll go drop upstream a mail in the time being. 


On a related note, has anyone received any "accept answer reminders"? I
was wondering how we'd test that.
