Yes, if a maintainer do not react on a bug which the reporter actively have reproduced in the next Fedora release before that release as well is EOL then yes something is very wrong. This is something we as a project should pick up and make sure it does not happen, just as any other where reporter have provided feedback but maintainer do not respond in reasonable time. But it's really a separate issue from the bugzapper, just made more obviously visible in that context. > Look in the archives.

Agreed, and mentioned some ideas how to mitigate that in another response in this thread. An alternative approach to what I suggested there would be to adjust the flood by starting to nag the reporter much earlier to retest on those reports where there is a newer version of the package available either as an update or in next release. Probably only based on package Version ignoring Release to avoid detecting mass rebuilds as new versions.
