Well, I'd like to be able to just drop a line to the elfutils list
saying "Any progress on this bug?", but no such list exists, so I'm
reduced to bothering fedora-devel.

Bug 187618, was submitted, partially fixed, and moved into the MODIFIED
state, which bugzilla describes as "Fix applied, please test" (or
something like that). I've tested it, discovered that that the fix was
incomplete, and now I can't move it back to NEW or ASSIGNED or whatever
and (afaict), nobody ever sees MODIFIED bugs in the normal course of
bugzilla usage.
