Depends on the bug/issue. For security isses, I don't think
CLOSED->UPSTREAM is appropriate, unless it requires a major architecture
of the code base. Similarly, if an app is crashing immediately on
startup, it's not something we necessarily want to just hope upstream
will fix.
Depends also on maintainer ... we don't require packagers to be
programmers and proficient in language their package is written.
