Yes, I think it could be preferred way for some bugs and some
components (i.e., I would suggest much more aggressive use of
CLOSED/UPSTREAM).
What would you prefer? Upstream balancing five bug reports in five
downstream bug trackers (plus his own) and wasting ton of time just
coordinating and communicating with them, or five bug reporters (and
their package maintainers, if required) working with the upstream in
the upstream bug tracker?
I understand that it is not possible always (given the character of
the component in question, or because bug reporters are not able to
work with the upstream code, and of course it could genuinely be a
packaging bug or bug caused by other components in the distro), but
when it is possible, I think it should be preferred.
Personally I look at this as technology problem to be solved not
political one that said the problem you describe for you as an
maintainer applies to reporters as well since from reporters perspective
it is multiple upstreams ( as opposed to multiple
downstreams/distribution ) they have to interact with.
