Filing a rel-eng ticket is actually the correct way.
Note that you have to
- once ask rel-eng team to get activesupport 2.3.8 tagged as dist-f14-override
- then build activerecord, again ask rel-eng team to get this tagged as override
- then build actionpack, again ask...

:(

Well, this may take time. So if you feel this is annoying for you, you
can comment out "BuildRequires(check)" dependency and disable check
(for F-14: I think for rawhide always enabling %checkis preferable)

For "normal" (i.e. non crit-path) packages, if one week passes since the
package is pushed into testing, the package "passes the update criteria".

Instead you can set "Threshold for pushing to stable" (to 1, for example)
and if someone else votes +1 karma for the updates request you submitted,
the package can go to the stable. So if you want to get some ruby related
package pushed into stable soon, you can post to this mailing list
the information of updates request you submitted on bodhi, and we may
vote karma soon.
