I believe what that's supposed to mean is "the bug *has been* reported upstream" --- either by the maintainer or the original reporter. Now if the maintainer can't fix it himself, I can see the point of asking the original reporter to report upstream: cutting out the middleman. If upstream wants more details they're likely to need to ask the original reporter anyway. But certainly the maintainer should be polite about asking that. regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
