If there are bugs in any of the packages within core they should fixed
regardless of the 3rd party repositories which may have helped uncovered
the problem. In other words they are just routine bugs addressed in
bugzilla. No big board of (anti) cooperation required.
There have been cases where Extras has used a different naming scheme
than the third parties - I'm not sure how many though.
The extras review process is open though, and I don't know that it was
ever done despite requests from the third parties against it. Nor do I
think Extras should be obligated to follow third party naming schemes,
not if doing so would violate the explicit extras naming scheme.
