Hi,

I think Matthew responded with a much more detailed review.  I'll just
comment on the couple of questions you posed below.

That's better indeed.

>From what I have seen, people upload the source rpm somewhere else, and
provide the link in the BZ report.  It is also useful if you attach the
spec file to the report, in case the link to the srpm breaks for some
reason.  You could also use copr to test your builds during the review
process.
