I fail to understand your rant.
OT for bugzilla - I will try to provide a more comprehensive answer on PM.
"yum info" or "yum search" will show you that the package exists. I can understand problems with packages imported but never built (though it's pretty damn easy to find those as well if you bother to look at all), yet this isn't one of those.
Only so far: This is the 3rd time in a row that this has happened to me in recent weeks. IMO, this gives a nice picture about the shape and usability of Fedora's package submission/review infrastructure.
Personally I use the convenient search box at:
I normally use repoquery and build packages against all supported fedora in mock. This usually catches all such cases - Makes me wonder why it didn't in these recent cases.
http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/ to look for pending reviews and http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/package-name to find information on packages that might have been created but aren't available in yum for some reason. If you feel that's excessive bureaucracy
Yes, very bluntly and somewhat exaggerated said: I feel it's a muddy swamp.
then I'm afraid there's not much anyone can do for you.
