You can't expect this from every upstream developer...
Maybe from big projects, but not every small programm with maybe just a
snipped in it.
Actually, it's more likely to work for small projects with a single
developer who can just sign up everywhere. Large projects really need their
bugs filed in a central place so their developers can coordinate.
