I am not implying that, but since you conclude that on
your own, the upstream developers and the fedora
developers work hand in hand to fix code and release
fixes for them.  But for nvidia code and drivers they
are not to take any blame for the success/failure of
the binary drivers.  That's why there is the "use at
your risk" part in the statement.

You can do a number of things that might/might not get
answered
(1) File Bug Reports
(2) File RFE's
(3) complain, complain, complain, and hope that
someone listens and tries to help
(4) wait patiently till a fix makes its way via
updates

Depends on the issues and the severity of the bugs. 
Developers work hard and try to release updates to fix
problems.
