I would like to see newer OpenLDAP in RHEL because it would be easier for me to maintain it. But I'm not sure if the advantages will outweight the disadvantages and if our customers will benefit from it rather than be forced to deal with new problems.

The lack of a current version of OpenLDAP exposes your customers to numerous significant issues, whether or not you choose acknowledge that.

Ok. One thing I do with Debian is help triage issues that are reported there with the upstream ITS system if the issues do not appear to be due to the usage of an old version. If there is a simple way to do that with Red Hat, I could help there as well.

When there is a new bug report, I usualy try to reproduce with the package from RHEL or Fedora. And then with the newest OpenLDAP from git master. If I'm able to reproduce, I always create a report in your ITS.

I was curious more in a list like pkg-openldap-devel w/ Debian, which also gets cc'd on all ldap related tickets. But it sounds like you are already doing what I was thinking of.
