Honestly I'm not sure what the best course of action would be.  The current
situation is something we want to get away from; we don't want to be
maintaining the source directly inside the Fedora package.  We really don't
like pointless forking and all the "Fedora doesn't work with upstream" grousing
that comes with it, and we've worked very hard to avoid that kind of thing.

Stopping short of filing a bunch of upstream tickets for each of our patches,
how hard would it be to let upstream know that regardless of what's happened in
the past, Fedora would like to reduce or eliminate the current divergence and
show them the current set of patches we're carrying?  If they reject or ignore
the attempt at contact then we can at least get a quick fedorahosted project
set up so that there's some public source for what's in this package.

Alternately, I'm happy to open a FESCo ticket and ask them for guidance.  They
could grant an exception, but more likely they'd recommend something not much
different than I detail above.
