Actually instruction how to file bugs upstream should be under components page or components group page on the wiki.

So for an example if working with Gnome upstream bugzilla the instruction to do so should be on a page under fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop.

Those instructions need to be on a step by step bases usage along with explanation of the different bug workflow upstream has in their bugzilla vs ours and also explanation on what's the difference between upstream bugzillas vs bugzilla.redhat.com to avoid confusing reporters using our bugzilla and theirs, that is if upstream is using mozilla bugzilla to track their bug reports ( which is far from being the generic case ). To give you an example bugs status on bugs filed against components in Red Hat and bug status on bugs filed against component in Fedora do not have the same meaning behind them and are treated differently even thou they are using the same bugzilla instance together.
