Bodhi looks really interesting. What's its proper discussion forum?

In case fedora-devel is the proper forum, a question: what happens to 
updates that are in updates-testing and then fail community QA? Do their 
rpms get yanked from updates-testing? It seems that today, it's 
difficult to yank rpms, and the updates-testing repo has junk in it.
