Firefox 7.0 was pushed to stable with getting karma in 1 day: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-13465 I wasn't aware of the broken mozilla-noscript until I got the stable update of firefox, so I had no chance of pushing an update fast enough. I did immediately an update, which took 9 days to hit stable: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-13563 Instead of getting one +1 karma, there have been two bug reports, that noscript needs an update, but without karma, that didn't help to resolve this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742847 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743308 So there doesn't need to be more co-maintainers (which is welcomed anyway), but it would help to get such updates pushed to stable directly like it was without the forced period in updates-testing or a heads up before doing such an update. -Tom -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
