In a lot of cases, users working directly with upstream instead of having someone playing middle-man is going to get things turned around a lot faster. Especially in cases where the bug relates to a specific piece of hardware, for eg. What would be *really* awesome would be the possibility of having a facility in bugzilla to escalate a bug to upstream, so a couple of clicks, and the bug is entered in the appropriate bugzilla, with all comments being reflected back into the one the user entered the bug into. I believe there is some work going on in this area, but it's slow moving.
