Note the "works for me"s: It's the normal way users who report bugs
through bugzilla provide feedback on proposed fixes.
Note how the package maintainer pointed reporters to "fix-candidate"
packages: He directed users to packages in koji and not to packages in
*-testing.
Both observations are symptomatic for situations in which "non-trivial"
package bugs are being addressed. Neither *testing nor the karma stuff
are being applied.
BTW: IMO this raises the next questions: Why don't successful koji
builds not automatically land in testing?
