It would be nice if Bodhi could send an email to the upstream developers email lists or persons when a package is submitted for testing and/or release. This might help in encouraging the upstream developers to help test the package and at least inform them that Fedora is packaging and releasing a particular version. It could also email them when problems are reported during testing. It would need access to the upstream projects email addresses, not sure were this would be stored ... Just an idea.
Interesting RFE. However, it currently not feasible at the moment for a couple of reasons: 1) we don't store email addresses of upstream developers 2) we don't want to spam upstream developers.
