Well, since I am in the business of QA for ten years now, believe me, there can be a better one:
The bug was detected after months by incident.
A good QA would have detected it before publishing the release.
Also there still is no fix, since I am a beginner with Maven and a beginner with FOP. Actually I do not know well both, I just wanted to use FOP in my own project and found the bug. Now you require me to learn a lot about Maven, Ibiblio and FOP's INTERNALS(!) to get this fixed. Actually I like contributing fixes once I am qualified to do that. But for now I think there must be better ways than learning for FOP internals just to get fixed a bug that was neither done by FOP not by the Maven team nor by me -- identify the causer and make him fix HIS bug.
So do you still think there couldn't be a better QA?

The community itself is the community control. See your case. It is
the user that reports if something fails, and maybe suggests/provides
a patch or has the patience to let other do it. Here, there is no such
a master-slave relationship where someone tells the changes and others
do. If you need something, you can do it yourself. All the
users/experts around here are the QA. And I assure you that it cannot
be a better QA...

So since bugs once released cannot get fixed without changing the
version (what is problematic with FOP as we have discussed today), this
is one more reason for not let anybody upload things without doing
quality control. :-)
