OK, so I should have said 'Ubuntu developer' (member of core dev or MOTU) instead of 'developer'. Lots of fixes are being worked on by upstreams or other non-Ubuntu developers all the time, but we don't mark a bug as In Progress unless someone is working on a fix in Ubuntu, or at least in a remote bugtracker to which we have set an upstream task. We would encourage anyone who is a developer to join MOTU and later core-dev so you can upload fixes directly. If you submit useful patches you would also very easily qualify for ubuntu-qa.
