Can someone further analyze this paragraph.

"For bugs in the Linux (Ubuntu)
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux> package,
unless the upstream maintainer or kernel developer notes otherwise, if a
new mainline kernel comes out, and you haven't tested with it, your report
is considered Status Incomplete <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status>
whether
or not someone toggled the Status of your report. "

Hi Istimsak,

When a new mainline kernel comes out, we usually ask to have it tested. 
The primary purpose of this is to see if the bug has already been fixed
upstream.  If it has been fixed upstream, we check to see if it was also
sent for inclusion in the upstream stable trees.  If it wasn't sent to
upstream stable, we then figure what exact commit fixed the bug, then
cherry pick it into the Ubuntu stable kernels.

A bug is also set to Incomplete when the apport logs are not included in
the report.

I'm not sure if this is the information you were looking for.  If not,
just let me know and I can provide some additional details.

Thanks,

Joe
