I don't think this is a problem. When rawhide bugs are not maintained this 
mostly means they are gone or they didn't really exist or the reporter has no 
real interest in it. None would be a reason not to publish the package for 
testing.
Testing is not for the faint of heart. Why should Fedora Extras testing be 
more stable than Fedora Core testing (aka Rawhide)?!
