Why do you think that there was no talk with maintainers? See BZ#750859,
which was mentioned in spec changelog.
This patch has been downloaded from bugzilla, present 3 week for
maintainers, absolutelly no response in bug from maintainers,
just messages from users.

This bug has 3 duplicates. 11 emails in cc list, so many users are affected.

I am getting about 10 emails/day from yum-cron and no have free time to
delete them daily. Fedora 14 will be EOL soon, so I need to update more
machines to Fedora 16 and will get more email/day. Here is history of this
bug:

2011-11-02 11:28:52 EDT  -  37 days ago  -  bug reported
2011-11-18 05:59:55 EST  -  21 days ago  -  patch available
2011-11-30 00:27:35 EST  -  9 days ago   -  ping, help please request
2011-12-09 14:21:15 EST  -               -  my build

More than one month without response. Is this maintainer still active?

Just these which disturbs me. No more on my list now.

No. Why there is an fedpkg upload? How I need to add new files for koji
build? It's better to use fedpkg import on an srpm?
What's difference?
