What I propose is: focus on F7 and/or F8 and treat F6 as a stable
distribution. If ndesk-dbus* serves as a bug-fix upgrade for F6, prepare
the full set of updates and talk to authoritative Fedora people, i.e.
FESCo, on how to proceed. Because a package in Extras would obsolete Core
(a MUSTNOT), and a package in Core that is broken in the process would
need a fix or a rebuild (the latter is a CANTFIX unless f-spot were moved
into Extras).

ndesk-dbus for F6 has not been released from needsign yet. ;)
