Exactly, users are reporting bugs against a product called "Fedora",

In that sense it's a Fedora package maintainer's duty to arbitrate
processing bug reports and communicate them to appropriate channels
and/or initiate appropriate measures, while keeping the impact on the
Fedora user and bug-reporters low.
In some situations, this means the package maintainer to implement a
patch, in others, to forward a bug report to upstream, in some it may
mean to initiate a direct contact between upstream and bug reporter.
It's simply another case of there is "no size fits all", except that
Fedora MUST continue to carry some central address to receiving bug
reports on Fedora's bugs. Currently that's bugzilla.
I agree with you that this should be packagers responsibility they
themselves are suppose to triage their component and act accordingly by
either gather the required information and forward it upstream but the
reality is quite different more often than not they are in no
communication with upstream nor are incapable to actually debug their
own component or provide the information to do so.
