This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 20:11:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora 2017-07-28 12:23:42 UTC
This does not seem to be fixed in Fedora 25:

$ docker run -ti --rm registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:25 grep systemd-coredump /etc/passwd

OTOH, on Fedora 26, the record seems to be there:

$ docker run -ti --rm registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:26 grep systemd-coredump /etc/passwd
systemd-coredump:x:999:998:systemd Core Dumper:/:/sbin/nologin

Comment 5 Jan Pazdziora 2017-07-28 12:25:06 UTC
Hmm, given the Fixed In Version is filled but this bugzilla was kept in NEW state and not moved to CLOSEED NEXTRELEASE, I'm not really sure if the plan is to also address it in Fedora 25 or not. I'll leave it to systemd maintainers to sort out the status of this bug.

Comment 6 Jan Pazdziora 2017-10-18 08:48:20 UTC
Could you please update the status of this bugzilla based on the current plans?
