I suppose for the quality of GNOME it would be more helpful if people would report issues upstream. At least if the perception is correct that bugs in openSUSE GNOME are only fixed by pulling new releases from upstream.
That's ok, but it should have been clarified at the beginning of the development stage, I think. Now, 17 days before the release, it is probably too late to get them fixed for 2.20, which will be included in openSUSE 10.3.
Moreover, on what basis should we distinguish between GNOME bugs to report upstream, and GNOME bugs to report on bugzilla?
Usually for GCC (which is what I'm working on) I monitor the upstream bugzilla for bugs affecting the openSUSE compiler as well as making sure that bugs filed on the Novell bugzilla are forwarded upstream. This is ideally the way it should work for all bugs filed in Novell bugzilla if there is upstream development and bugreporting infrastructure. To what extent this happens for GNOME bugs at the moment I don't know, but I am sure that help from the community to improve the situation with Novell-bugzilla-only bugreports would be appreciated. Maybe our GNOME people can clarify their policy?
