I've already created bugs for at least any upstream that used
launchpad, sourceforge, gnome bugzilla, fedora trac, RH bugzilla,
Freedesktop bugzilla, or had an easy way to report bugs that didn't
require signing up to a random forum. I've even reported some bugs
that *did* require signing up to random php trackers. The best way of
finding the upstream bug is google, e.g.
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=appdata+subsurface

Please yell if anything doesn't make sense; I'm also on IRC with a
nick of "hughsie" if you want any more help.
