I pushed a few updates after branching where I did try to submit updates and
bodhi rejected them (too early) and then I simply missed the point where
they became necessary.
so for me - an email to fedora-{devel|announce} with "bodhi updates for f32
are required now" would be good. the more obvious the subject line the
better. if that email was indeed sent and I missed it - oops and my
apologies :)
Failing all that, screaming at the maintainer in the most appreciative and
respectful way is always a good way to get things fixed too :)
