Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat.

I will be releasing autofs-5.1.4 fairly soon, it will
include this change. And I plan on upgrading the supported
Fedora releases when I do the upstream release.

I would say so as /etc/sysconfig/autofs isn't the configuration
file any more, it's now /etc/autofs.conf.
While the format looks a bit different to what is used in
/etc/sysconfig/autofs anything in their for equivalent config.
settings will override what is in /etc/autofs.conf for backward
compatibility.
But we should always be referring to /etc/autofs.conf as "the"
autofs configuration file now.
