No. 2.3.something, but you never link a specific src.rpm, so better do
that. [Did you miss my comment in bugzilla?]

 - A candidate source rpm which is considered "ready",
 - which is roughly the same quality as other packages in Fedora
   Extras,
 - and a sponsor who would serve as a proxy to CVS for updates
   until Fedora Extras is ready to accept project contributors
   and create accounts for them.

Revised package submission and QA policies for Fedora Extras are not known
yet. So, fedora.us documents should be taken as a good guideline.
