I'm 100% seconding that. We, the gnome guys, have at least 2 ways of
being notified of package updates (RSS & mailing-list). So for most of
the packages we manage, a 0-day bump request is annoying ("yes we know,
but we haven't had time to get to it, so please don't bother us..."). If
we aren't done one week later, then it's probably that we missed it on
our radar or we haven't had enough man power at this time. In either
case it's fine to fill a bug at this time.
