Yes, I think it could be preferred way for some bugs and some components
(i.e., I would suggest much more aggressive use of CLOSED/UPSTREAM).
What would you prefer? Upstream balancing five bug reports in five
downstream bug trackers (plus his own) and wasting ton of time just
coordinating and communicating with them, or five bug reporters (and
their package maintainers, if required) working with the upstream in the
upstream bug tracker?
I understand that it is not possible always (given the character of the
component in question, or because bug reporters are not able to work
with the upstream code, and of course it could genuinely be a packaging
bug or bug caused by other components in the distro), but when it is
possible, I think it should be preferred.
