I believe they *are* doing their due diligence, it's just that they're
upstream. I've fallen into the trap of reporting certain things
downstream (even outside of GNOME) and finding out later that it's
better to report upstream for certain components.
We can't expect our users to know which components in Fedora's bugzilla
are *real* and which you're better off not bothering with.
Maybe if we can auto-detect a maintainer in our downstream is the same
as a maintainer upstream, we pre-fill the bug template for their
component with 'don't use this, file at bugzilla.upstream.org'? And then
if the downstream maintainer ever changes, reactivating the component?
As I mentioned years ago that this can be solved technically as in the
problem for reporters having to have gazillion upstream bugzilla
accounts or upstream maintainers having gazillion downstream bugzilla
accounts ( same problem for both parties involved, you just need
bi-directional communication between two or more bugzilla instances then
all the downstream reports could be handle by triagers who would forward
it upstream via flag in bugzilla and upstream do the same ) there even
is a an RFE somewhere deep in the closet of the RH Bugzilla maintainers
and I think James actually had one of them look into it with mozilla
developers but I think that guy has quit RH and we cant do nothing about
hacking bugzilla since it's not our own instance but we share it with
RHEL which arguably we should not be doing in the first place since it
goes against our foundation of "freedom" .
