Well, bumping the version is just the first step. You should check
that the content of the updated package is still appropriate for
fedora, e.g. license was not changed or so and that the update is
compatible with other packages in Fedora, i.e. check what depends on
fossil, what the update might break.

this bug:
It won't work if you are not a fedora packager.
I have to do a "remote PR"...
