I can see two possible cases for your sarcasm here: 1) newbie tries to fix something without consulting owners at all 2) newbie (actually, someone malevolant trying to break Fedora because they hate Robert Scheck) breaks package intentionally In either case, the package owner gets an email summarizing changes to CVS, and can revert the CVS change. If the newbie was malevolant and/or the problem persists, they can be kicked out of Fedora. If not, they learned their lesson (similar to Wikipedia's "please go play in the sandbox, kid").
