I'm not sure that's strong enough. It should clearly state that the package maintainer is responsible for getting bugs fixed -- if the package maintainer isn't a coder, then they need to take a more managerial röle; working with upstream or with code-monkeys within Fedora to get things fixed. How about this:
Do we need to make an effort to catalog skillsets in the contributor base? to make it easier to help maintainers find a particular sort of code-monkey?
Yes, perhaps. Or maybe it would be better to have a code-monkey sign up as co-maintainer for the package, where the primary maintainer isn't capable of actually..., well, maintaining the package.
