It would help if other people besides the main admin could change the Bugzilla 
assignee. After all, if the main admin is non-responsive, it's going to be 
difficult to get them to do it.

The problem with empty commits is that they cause a release bump when 
rpmautospec is used which probably isn't desired. I guess this isn't the end 
of the world.

There are also some packages which legitimately haven't been updated upstream 
in three years.
