As you can see from this thread, there are as many opinions on this issue as there are packages in Fedora ;-). It all depends from the style of packager's work. E.g., openoffice.org maintainer prefers to move all non- packaging bugs upstream ASAP (he does the moving) and then he works on them upstream (firefox maintainers have similar attitude). Advantage (and one of the foundational pieces of Red Hat philosophy) is that a) our work can be shared with others, b) we can use results of others work. And yes, whole process of upstreaming should be invisible and painless to reporter of RH bug, but our tooling in this area is non-existent.
