For the kernel package, I did a bit of both. Sometimes I play internet traffic cop, routing the reporter to the right person/mailing list, and other times (especially when theres >1 report) I'll take it upstream myself. Neither of these are CLOSED->UPSTREAM though. The only time I CLOSE->UPSTREAM reports is when the bug is against something we don't actively support (like XFS). Having the bug left open in the Fedora bugzilla isn't going to solve anything at all. The only chance that bug is going to get fixed is inheriting it on an upstream rebase if the upstream authors have been made aware of the problem. > >What would be *really* awesome would be the possibility of having > >a facility in bugzilla to escalate a bug to upstream > That would be great, but I wonder if its overly complicated and perhaps > thats why its not happening? I think the biggest hurdle is probably that different bugzillas have different input forms, so data needs to be marshalled into a form the other end can understand.
