Comment 22 for bug 127315

"asjdfwejqrfjcvm msz34rq33", Ralf, Giulio, etc.: Note that the bug had been forwarded upstream and there is a patch available (about 6 months old at this point). Some trivial search reveals a list of maintainers for F-Spot at http://f-spot.org/Get_Involved . Perhaps it would be helpful to send them *polite* e-mail reminders to review the patch, or to send *polite* requests to people on the Ubuntu Bugs Team.

I highly doubt this problem is intended as "cultural imperialism." Occam's Razor indicates that it is only sloppy programming. Wild accusations tend to make upstream developers reluctant to fix problems.
