citation needed. There are surely components where this is the case,
but many others where it's not. 

Personally, I help/answer bugzilla bugs, when/if they become clearly a
upstream issue I ask the reporter if they would like to file it
upstream or would like me to.

It does in many cases. 

* It's a packaging bug. 

* It's a request for a version update or something like that. 

* It's something related to interaction between packages. 

* It's something that is already fixed upstream and the Fedora package
  simply needs to add the patch.
