Hi Zoltan,

For whatever reason this list does not seem to be used very much.

Your best bet is to add a comment to the bug that you were able to 
reproduce the problem.  The developer will change the status to assigned 
when/if they start working on it.

The other alternative would be to see if this bug has already been 
reported "upstream," in this case, gnome.org.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=epiphany

If the problem has not been reported at gnome it would be helpful to 
file a bug there.  If it has been reported at gnome, it would help the 
Fedora maintainer if you added a comment to the Fedora bug referencing 
the URL for the gnome bug.

More information on bug triage is here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers if you haven't seen it already.

Welcome!
