That's why I try to CC myself on the upstream bugs which are filed by our
reporters. But of course, if the hundreds of bug reporters actually did
forward the bugs upstream, I might no longer be able to do that. Right now,
unfortunately, most reporters don't bother, so I can still handle the
upstream correspondance with those who do.

Right. That's why I said that upstream wants to talk to the actual reporter.
