While I don't think we can really solve this problem in the short term, it would be generally helpful if the launchpad bug describing and discussing the change would point to at least attempts to forward it upstream. This might be a bugtracker, a mailing list or an email with CC. As for the long to mid-term solution of the problem documenting how upstream prefers contributions/patches, perhaps launchpad could provide metadata about that in the project description and provide a link to that on the bug pages? -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
