Me neither. Too many symptoms of a construction yard that has grown out of
proportions. fedora-package-review list has become even less readable due
to the jump in traffic and superfluous bugzilla spam (like switching the
assignee back and forth).  The locked down owners.list makes it impossible
to fix typos in it. Sections of the Wiki are locked, too, even for people
with valid Wiki accounts. Mailing the people who have edited the locked
pages last doesn't lead to anything as they don't reply.  Replys to
fedora-extras-commits list are directed to a list that is not read by the
people who should read it.  Resurrecting dead packages has become more
difficult, too, especially for new contributors. Too many steps and
points of failure that can easily become an unpleasant experience for the
new contributors.
