Not true.  Not at all true.

src.fedoraproject.org permits anyone, *anyone* to send PRs to fix issues
in the boot stack, or any other package.  Even without it, bugzilla
doesn't lock down people helping troubleshoot, write patches, work with
upstreams, etc..

Just because you can't build an official version of the package doesn't
mean you can't help work on it.

So you've heard that we're overloaded, and you know that UEFI is the
direction the world is heading.  Your solution to this is... what, stick
our heads in the sand and ignore that?  Just do legacy?  We already have
UEFI-only platforms (see also: the mention of ARM you're belaboring), so
that's obviously not going to fly, even if we were willing to, which
we're not.

Be well,
