Should I be bothering tinderbox author(s) instead?

I am not sure where the first issue is coming from but the second is
definitely a tinderbox task. We are asking for tinderbox staging and modern
leftover checks for some time already. I am working on a poudriere
migration but it's quite a moving target and it requires quite a bit of
work.
