Well there have been several voices within our community wanting us to 
report directly upstream as opposed to be using bugzilla in the first 
place and at the same time the project is dire need for more 
contributors so to me the solution to both these problem is to find a 
way to bring the community closer to upstream as opposed to us trying to 
convince upstream come to down to us ( Which we have been trying for 
years in competition with other distro's )
