Many, many bugs involve unexpected interactions between different components. If you think upstream maintainers want to play whack-a-mole trying to figure out why their package in Fedora is encountering an issue that they're not encountering (remember, Fedora is the fifth most popular distribution; MOST DEVELOPERS AREN'T USING IT) and users on other distributions are not encountering, you're wrong. If you think upstream maintainers want to have to maintain installations of every distribution that ships their software, just so they can troubleshoot distribution-specific bugs, you're wrong. Furthermore, let's discuss how things will actually work under the system you're proposing: User to upstream bugzilla A: "I'm encountering bug frobnitz." Maintainer A: "That bug is not being caused by my package. Go away." User: "Then what package is causing it?" Maintainer: "I don't know. Go away." or maybe... Maintainer: "Try bugilla B."
