Bugzillaing a request sometimes helps, but it's rather dependent on the
developer('s mood). If there are not too many packages depending on it
your chances might be better.
I don't think submitting an update to fedora.us will do any good in this
respect.

Bug fixes may be a valid reason to release an update. Bugzilla and
mention the above.
