You said Red Hat told you it was not its problem and to go complain to 
someone else.  Just to confirm are you talking about 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227405. Maybe you 
are misunderstanding what is being said there. All there is a request to 
verify against the updates, file a bug report upstream and pass it on 
the package maintainer for it to be tracked locally.

Even when Red Hat is the upstream maintainer for non-packaging specific 
bugs, it is better to file bugs upstream. There are muliple reasons 
including the factor the there is bound to be better exposure and more 
people working on a upstream project compared to a distribution package.
