I want to report that the bug is there and provide the details that I can, so that fedora knows that the bug exists. I dont want to go around chasing developers upstream if I dont really care about the bug/package. However, on a few instances I have been met with a negative attitude stating that "You MUST report this " (...to upstream). This has stopped me from sending bug reports to fedora unless I really do need the bug fixed or actually use the package. The program in this particular case was one I was just testing out of curiosity (one of several). I found a bug and reported it. I dont have time to chase every bug upstream. This was a close-to-f11-rawhide version. It did get "CLOSED UPSTREAM". I dont want to go personal on this because I know this is a matter of opinion and several other maintainers are also following this routine, so I wont post the bug number here. However any sufficiently interested parties would have no problem searching through my reported bugs to find it. (The others would however be harder since they were posted from a different email address) I do hope this gets changed, because I believe it is valuable to fedora to know what bugs do exist, especially when about to release a new version.
