How will you track blocker bugs?

How can we see a global view of all open bugs? Aggregate from X upstream bug report systems? Which not all are Bugzilla?

How can we track critical bugs?
Additional concerns I'd have above this:

- Not all things we ship have active upstream bug trackers to fall back on

What do you think that tells us about the thing we are shipping?

- We still need a way to track Fedora-specific integration & packaging
   concerns, which would likely get closed upstream as 'NOTABUG' for that
   project

Yes we would.

- What filing downstream gives the Fedora maintainer is a good mechanism
   for knowing what's going on in that package in Fedora. Tracking *all*
   upstream bugs in a bug tracker may not be a good way to do so.

If that bug tracker would have a component field called distribution and in was fedora that would not be a problem but neither would it if everybody used the same kind of bug tracker or a global mutual bug tracker for all distro to use but that could be solved via Fedora tag line in the bug report itself with relevant upstream.


Honestly, I think a good dedicated triage team that works to verify and move
upstream as appropriate works better. But, you know, requires getting and
keeping such a team.

Quite frankly that has been proven not to work and quite frankly the packager should be the one playing that middle man ( which is not working either ).
