Maintainer Responsibilities

[Steve Grubb]

Hello,

I don't want to start a long thread, but just to ask a couple questions for my 
own clarification. Does a maintainer's responsibilities end with packaging 
bugs? IOW, if there is a problem in the package that is _broken code_ do they 
need to do something about it or is it acceptable for them to close the bug 
and say talk to upstream? Do we want those bugs open to track when the bug is 
fixed in the distro? I'll accept whatever the answer is, I'm just curious.

Thanks,
-Steve
