Right, most bug trackers (at least when weighted by the number of projects 
using them) don't allow CCing unregistered e-mail addresses. This is the 
main problem with forwarding bugs upstream ourselves.

One idea I have would be to have a forwarding system running on an alias 
like bug-forwarder at fp.o which would be registered on some upstream bug 
trackers and automatically forward bugmail from an upstream bug to the 
corresponding Fedora bug. Then we could have a link "forward bug upstream" 
in our Bugzilla and automatically have the bug filed upstream by the bug-
forwarder account. All correspondance would then be echoed by bug-forwarder 
on the respective other bug tracker. A way to trigger this forwarding from 
the Bugzilla mass change UI would also be helpful in some cases, especially 
for the flood of ABRT bugs.
