There is a third reason for maintaining a component: it is a dependency
for another component the packager maintains. This is applicable for
_all_ packagers, be they from Red Hat or the community. You either
conveniently omitted this reason to make an argument or never thought of
it, in which case I respectfully ask you to butt out of this thread
because you do not know what you are talking about.
Oh in my case it was an "primary" component no dependency that Red
Hat maintainer could not update until he got approval but for the
You generalized one specific case to _all components of all Red Hat
maintainers_. When I rejected that generalization, you are counteracting
by claiming that my argument does not apply for that one _specific_
case. Sorry, but that is a faulty reasoning.
No i did not "generalized one specific case to _all components of
all Red Hat"
Yes, you did. Or how else do you interpret "That gives me the feel that
they are maintaining their components as a part of their job not because
they want to scratch an itch and want to!"

That there exist individual that are maintaining components in Fedora not because they wan to but more because they have to as a part of their job. Something I had suspected for quite sometime for some time but in my case I was given the proof.


And I also know yes granted an single individual that said he could
not update his component in the project which he maintained without
asking his "boss" before doing so which raises a whole bunch of
questions
Sure. For example: "Is he a new packager and does not realize that
updating a component in Fedora does not involve the same process as in
RHEL?" or "Is the update potentially dangerous and he wants to consult
with someone more experienced?" (We still do not know who the packager
was and which component it was.)

I'm not going to reveal who that was. I am a lot of things but that guy I am not. What he told me in private mail is between me and him so keep fishing...
