Frankly, I find this attitude bad for the project. If you're packaging something for Fedora, you *are* doing a service to the userbase, and you are responsible to the userbase for what you do. Honestly, it smacks of laziness on the part of the maintainer, and certainly isn't going to give the reporter a good view of Fedora if they're called lazy, or are responded to with "I'm not your slave!" Sure, it's easier if the reporter can/does report it upstream, but I don't think that should be a required level of interaction. If you get a reasonable amount of data from the reporter to make a good, reproducible, bug report, I don't see any reason at all why the maintainer shouldn't forward it upstream themselves.
