Hello, today i again hit problem which is known for long time. If someone report bug which is too - much complicated / no one is able to fix it / package maintainer is overloaded - bug assignee close this bug as WONTFIX and ask reporter to move bug in upstream facility (another bugzilla for example). I understand this (as i was overloaded package maintainer also) but i also thing it is packager responsibility to report bug to upstream and track them here. As I know many others are also not sure about it I am asking here. So what is standard procedure?
The procedure we're using in the GNOME and OO groups is to use the
keyword should_go_upstream and later one of us or a QA person will move
the bug upstream (if its not there already) and mark the bug
RESOLVED/LATER. Periodically we'll query to see if the upstream bug
status has changed. Not really clear if this is scalable or not yet.
