Hello Alberto.

Thanks for your feedback which helps me to see some practices from a different perspective.

I see your point on all of the things you wrote (and am working on fixing them where possible) but want to give a comment on a few points:

I totally understand this and will stop doing so from now on.

 Maybe you want to remove the following sentences from the box in the documentation under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20statuses. Thats were I got this idea from.

 "Paste the report number in #ubuntu-bugs channel at FreeNode and say you think the report should be set to 'Triaged' with importance 'Wishlist / Low / Medium / High / Critical' according to Bugs/Importance. Someone will notice your comment and set it for you, although not necessarily immediately."

Does this even apply if the bug has a patch attached to it (as was the case here)?

That is new to me. So I should not work on getting this into the upstream project first, so Ubuntu can release upstream packages instead of deriving its own ones?
