I meant downstream tickets, packages maintainers are supposed to fix
packaging-related issues, and if necessary reporting issues upstream.
Nobody expects package maintainers to fix bugs upstream themselves.

What we want to avoid is having packages that are not attended at all.

RDO packages are supposed to be updated in the following cases:
* new stable release upstream
* packaging fixes
* CVE (depending severity)

Until now, we've been following upstream lifecycles which means that we support
two stable branches + master branch through delorean.
