This is what I find frustrating about the whole thing. Most maintainers put in a WONTFIX only after it becomes clear that there is no reason to do so (either the software is going out of business in Fedora or the software will not be maintained, etc). However, there are some who take inexplicable decisions. Case in point: look at the bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=914861 zathura 2.6 was released even before F20 was released but the maintainer appears not to want to release it on F20 and will keep it at 2.4 all through F21 perhaps, since rawhide appears to be F22? Why? No one knows. These policies appear to be completely arbitrary. Another bug, which made me give up on LXDE (I have gone back to only using a WM), now has a potential patch submitted: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820514 but no response for a long time. (I suspect that the maintainer Christoph Wickert is no longer a LXDE user.) I understand that all these maintainers are volunteers, but some consistency would be helpful. This will drive people, especially bug reporters who are far fewer than the general Fedora population, out into the shadows (of not reporting bugs). I have to say however that most of the maintainers are very responsive and the rationale for their decisions is solid. It is the few inexplicable ones that can make it frustrating!
