Yes, more usual than not, you'll get attention this way; while mailing to official maintainers is equivalent to mailing to /dev/null.

If I'm submitting a change to an existing package, and the packager is Mandrake Linux Team http://www.mandrakeexpert.com (e.g., libsigc++1.2), what do I do with the specfile? Mail it to the last name on the changelog? Upload it to incoming? Both? use the force, or rpmmon. There is a rpm for the secund.

[Cooker] Uploading question
OK, let me make sure I have the procedure straight: If I'm submitting a new contribution, I upload the SRPM to incoming, and send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I'm submitting a change to an existing package, I email the specfile to the packager, and send an email to cooker. (So the new gimp specs go to Thierry Vignaud.) If I'm submitting a change to an existing package, and the packager is Mandrake Linux Team http://www.mandrakeexpert.com (e.g., libsigc++1.2), what do I do with the specfile? Mail it to the last name on the changelog? Upload it to incoming? Both?

You can send whatever you want to / incoming, but IF it gets updated, it will likely take a while. I'd suggest this: If it's a main package, send it to the maintainer (usually the last or most frequent changelog entry). If it's a contrib package, send it to me. Cool?
