I don't think they should be treated different from other bug reports because they were filed with ABRT but because * crashing apps usually have nothing to do with Fedora or packaging, but indicate problems in the code. * they contain info that is very useful for upstream while most packagers can't deal with it. * they are hard to reproduce but easy to triage (review for completeness and forward them). * because without forwarding them the whole ABRT approach is useless. We are gathering data but the reports are going to be closed WONTFIX by the bugzappers if they are not forwarded in time. > Where the package in question actually has Bugzappers coverage - which > is nowhere near a majority of packages at present - this should already > be covered by the normal triage process. The bug triage process mentiones upstreaming only as an "optional step" while for backtraces upstreaming should be the default procedure. Crash reports gathered with Dr. Konqi for example directly go to bugs.kde.org but not to our bugzilla.
