I didn't say it was. Just pointing out that there are such
circumstances. Firefox extension maintainers need to be aware of the
accelerated release schedule of Firefox and get help by asking for
co-maintainers if necessary.
Firefox 7.0 was pushed to stable with getting karma in 1 day:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-13465
I wasn't aware of the broken mozilla-noscript until I got the stable
update of firefox, so I had no chance of pushing an update fast enough.
I did immediately an update, which took 9 days to hit stable:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-13563
Instead of getting one +1 karma, there have been two bug reports, that
noscript needs an update, but without karma, that didn't help to
resolve this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742847
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743308
So there doesn't need to be more co-maintainers (which is welcomed
anyway), but it would help to get such updates pushed to stable directly
like it was without the forced period in updates-testing or a heads up
before doing such an update.
