Oh, come on.  The internal testing group is not working for free.  Are
they? They are your colleagues.  So the comparison is still off the mark.
In some cases, I have redirected bug reporters to upstream and in some
cases, I have filed it myself.  It really depends on the issue and whether
I already have a good working relationship with upstream, the complexity of
the issue, whether I can easily reproduce the problem etc.

Yes indeed.  That can happen.  What did you really expect? You are not
using a commercial product with any kind of support agreements.  Most of
the components you use in Fedora is written and maintained by volunteers
who might not respond quickly to a bug report if they are busy.  Even for
components that has been developed primarily by commercial organizations,
they aren't necessarily going to prioritize your issues.  In general, I
would recommend you file bug reports upstream if they aren't specific to
Fedora.
