Yes, those packages are a quick rpmbuild bodge that runs every few days
-- I'll stick a new snapshot in koji soon, and then everyone can have
the love.

Agreed, I've just fixed this in the yumBackend.

Fixed, thanks.

That makes the column very wide...

No. In the bodhi metadata we have proper URLs which we display in the
text. We can't guess that #12345 is a gnome bug, a Red Hat bug, or even
a freedesktop bug. The ChangeLog text is just a bodge as we don't have
metadata with rawhide.

Fixed, thanks.

I'll fix up the end dialog, but I think the autoclose should remain.
