Of course. Although fixing bugs in Community GlusterFS is not limited to 
just Red Hat employees.

Everyone who finds a bug is strongly encouraged to file a bug report at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=GlusterFS

(You are required to create an account to submit a bug.)

In this case I have already opened a bug for this. You can follow its 
status at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1390614

And if you have the ability to fix it, you are strongly encouraged to 
submit your proposed fix to review.gluster.org. A HOWTO for submitting 
patches is at
