If a package in Fedora Core is maintained by non-RH person X, having
person X go through Bugzilla to update his package (whether with a tool or
not), implying having a Red Hat person look at the problem and apply it in
a timely fashion, is IMHO *way* too heavy a process.

We need more than that, e.g. CVS commit access to the server housing the
RPM spec files and patch files, etc.

I'm not saying that the tool you propose would not be useful, I just think 
that (at least as I see Fedora) it's still too heavy a process...
