Your tone sucks.  "No apparent reason" translates to "everything is working
fine but it still hasn't been pushed".  Things weren't working fine, and the
owner of the code was notified.  What you really meant was "I don't know why
it hasn't been pushed."

Someone could just as well say "There are hundreds of updates in Bodhi that
have no QA feedback on them for no apparent reason."

I'm not a Red Hat employee.  I do live in the US though.

Yes, it's time for someone else to push updates.
