That friend was thinking about what are we looking for when reviewing
Ubuntu Bug Control applications.

 * that people are tactful and polite
 * that people can ask intelligent questions and get more details about
   the bug
 * that people can improve the quality of a bug report (by adding bug
   watches, modifying the description, etc...)
 * that people explain their actions and reasoning

These skills and attributes can be demonstrated about bug reports in
other projects in Launchpad just as well as they can be about bug
reports in Ubuntu.  Additionally, we accept upstream bug triagers, for
example Debian developers, regularly.

By the way looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl there is
no requirement that the bug reports have to be Ubuntu ones.

So I don't think the bugs included in an application have to include
Ubuntu bug tasks.
