mgetty on FC6 is at version 1.1.33-9 : 2005-04-10

I opened a new bug against it ( 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232522 ) and in 
doing some research to find the source code discovered there have been 
two releases since then. Even the most recent is more than a yearold 
now, but still not available via yum update.

1.1.34 : 2005-11-30
1.1.35 : 2006-02-22

Is mgetty still being maintained as a Fedora component? Is it deprecated 
and there is a replacement I should use instead?

I was going to see if I can fix the problem, but for all I know it is 
already fixed in one of these newer releases.

How do I request that mgetty be updated in FC6? I think the package 
maintainer has gone walk about so opening a new bugzilla report seems 
ineffective: Another bug ( 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217844 ), created 
2006-11-30 has never even been replied to. :-(

Which version will be in FC7? I can wait for FC7, that is only a month 
or two away now.

Thank you.
