That's exactly Fedora's organizational problem.

KDE SIG should have authority over anything KDE-related. Likewise, the Perl 
SIG should have authority over anything Perl-related: if the Perl SIG 
decides that a new Perl developer @ RH should have commit access to all 
perl-* packages, it should be their decision to do so, it was really 
counterproductive of FESCo to interfere with that!

Good luck getting Mozilla to accept anything. Just like the kernel, they're 
a very hard to work with upstream. If you don't know the right people, your 
stuff just doesn't get in. :-(

Providing system integration is exactly what a distribution is for. You will 
never achieve an integrated experience by just throwing together disparate 
upstream tarballs.
