What would be neutral?
The Fedora maintainer’s lack towards feedback ?
I guess as TL2 he cant change title alias just restricted. We as TL4 might have to help him.

Ah, sorry about that.
There’s the mailing list that ilikelinux posted about, and there’s the channel on Matrix (devel in the Fedora homesever):

I wonder if the line “Bug URL” in the rpm -qi listing should perhaps reflect that preference.

Yeh, it certainly should (although, I think this is automatically generated during the build process). I’m not sure if the notification they’re discussing is on Bugzilla yet either—I haven’t had a chance to check. Certainly lots that can be improved.

In most cases response to bugs that I submitted is “Status: Closed EOL”. Following is an example:
I could have filed separate bug reports for Fedora 40 and 41 but to avoid uneccesary clutter, I clearly indicated that the problem occurs in both releases. One might conclude that the bug report was NEVER read by a human.

Fsarchiver looks unmaintained. No real human commits to it in a while. I reckon it’s only in the repos because it continues to somehow build and so hasnt been retired by automation (automation retires each release if they fail to build or install).
The maintainer doesnt seem to have any activity recently either:
We do remove inactive package maintainers, but i cant find the process for this at the moment (am on my phone).
Does 0.8.7 function, I just closed the merge request for it.
It was too old to merge due to conflicts and other issues.

Yes, I saw that situation too—forgot to include it in this post. But since I mainly file issues against the Rawhide branch, I haven’t personally encountered this problem yet.
