Aside from all discussions in this thread, the current Bugzilla
documentation seems quite clear on this topic. Whatever the outcome of
the discussion is, I think the documentation which is visible to the
end-user (customer), should at least match the common practice/procedure.
Note also that the discussion is primarily focussed on the Resolution of
the bug report, while there are also two Keywords available with respect
to upstream. I've quoted the full texts below for reference.
This page doesn't really cover Fedora policy or practice, it covers RHEL
policy and practice, which is not the same thing.
The next revision of Bugzilla will in fact include a link on this page,
directing you to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow
for the Fedora policy and practice. That page says in passing:
"The resolution UPSTREAM can be used by maintainers to denote a bug that
they expect to be fixed by upstream development and naturally rolled
back into Fedora as part of the update process. Ideally, a comment
should be added with a link to the upstream bug report."
but that's just what I wrote when updating the page, it's not based on
any official discussion / agreement, so I made it intentionally vague
and (hopefully) non-controversial.
