Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> is the current Fedora maintainer as 
indicated in bugzilla.

Currently in Fedora 18, btrfs-progs is the "v0.20-rc1 with git commit id 
<mailto:josef@toxicpanda.com>91d9eec" plus a total of seven patches.  
Two of those patches from the list which I have already indicated.  The 
rest of those patches have been around for a while (at least since mid 
2011) and I cannot find any doc.

While I could send them in (and will if needed), I feel a little uneasy 
since Josef is responsible in Fedora.  While this may be a different 
individual since the email address is different, I suspect this Josef is 
the same Josef who wrote the other two patches and he may be able to 
speak to them better.

I have been scraping mailing list for all of the btrfs-progs patches and 
plan to gradually test them.  Since it appears you will be doing 
something similar, if you want to point me to some for testing, I will 
give it a shot with some virtual and some real-iron testing.  And 
sometimes it is also a matter of the time needed to refit/rebase patches.
