While reading your account of the problem, I was struck by a number of
actions that need to be done in response to the things you discovered.

Each time, I read further in your message and saw you tell us you had
already done them :-) Your message to the Pagure project was very
helpful.

Thank you for this analysis, and especially for taking care to do the
necessary weeding to keep our software freedom.
