Signing up for an upstream Bugzilla account takes at most 5 minutes, then
it's just as easy to file bugs there than at bugzilla.redhat.com. Bugs need
to be fixed upstream (so everyone benefits, not just Fedora users), by
upstream developers (not packagers, and no, not all packagers are
developers, and even those who are generally aren't experts for the entire
codebase they're packaging, so upstream developers are the people most
qualified for fixing most bugs), so they should also be filed upstream.

That's because that's our policy, and rightfully so.

Then let's say: Report bugs, to the right place of course (usually
upstream)!
