You're supposed to be the reporter of or CCed on the upstream bug, then
you'll get notified of the fix and can reopen our bug asking for a backport
of the fix if it's really that important (but keep in mind that Fedora
packages often get upgraded to a bugfix release anyway, for example our KDE
gets upgraded to a bugfix release about once a month).
You are still presuming your users to be interested in developing and
working on your package.
This simply does not apply - They want to use your package.
As maintainers, we will also try to CC ourselves on those upstream bugs to
track their status, but utilimately it's the reporter who cares the most
about seeing his/her bug fixed.
I could not disagree more. People with this kind of attude should lable
themselves maintainer and stop packaging packages in Fedora.
