This is not a first time when in see this idea and was already answered 
- we're the distro and we're responsible for the packages, filling all 
bugs to the upstream will make more harm then good - e.g. crash caused 
by our patch or by some library which has different upstream or the bug 
is already fixed in the new upstream version which is not updated in our 
repositories... and these problems are for maintainers to decide before 
they forward the ticket to the upstream...
