We want to do this, and it's on our six-month roadmap. This isn't a trivial endeavour: it requires finding ways to file the bugs upstream, which is technically easy for some (i.e. debbugs) and more difficult for others (i.e. sourceforge). There are also concerns about communication between the bugtrackers -- if we file a bug upstream we don't want the reporter to be a black hole. We're taking lots of different approaches, and you'll see changes in this area in the coming months.
