The main thought we've had in this perspective is an adopt-an-upstream
program, where people from the community would volunteer to bridge bug
reports from Ubuntu (in Launchpad) to upstream bugtrackers. This would
allow us to scale the work we're doing in Ubuntu to a greater extent --
currently, the majority of bugs reported against Ubuntu are upstream,
but unfortunately we don't have an easy way of communicating them to the
right bugtracker.
I'd like to get the ball rolling on adopt-an-upstream. We have most of
what's necessary in terms of tools:
1. A way to say "I am the upstream bug contact"
2. A way to say "This bug is actually upstream, but there's no bug
report there"
3. Reports of what bugs need to be reported upstream and linked back
to Launchpad.
We're designing features to complement step 3 by making it easier to
report the bug upstream, but I think the above is already enough -- if
we document and teach the community about the process.
