I think that this is a reasonable request. You have to understand that
due to the packages that Steve maintains, they can get quite a few bug
reports. If Steve went through his day managing mail from Bugzilla, no
work would actually ever get done :) It's even worse for the kernel
guys.

Here is Steve's current list that I can see - note that since he
maintains many security-sensitive packages (that is after all his job
:) ), there are likely bugs that I can't see, even doubly so since he
maintains some of the same packages for RHEL, most of which are marked
private in my experience even if they aren't (a pet peeve of mine, but
that's for another thread.....)

As you can see, quite a workload to manage :)
