okay im a little confused. You filed it and then closed it as upstream.

How does that help the package maintainer in Fedora keep track of this
as an outstanding issue to possibly address as an update?

You've short circuited the bug workflow a bit by jumping the gun and
marking your own issue as resolved.  I believe the intent with regard
to the UPSTREAM resolution in our bugzilla workflow is for
"maintainers" to use to mark as resolved with the intention of pulling
new upstream release and pushing it as an update some time soonish.
If as the reporter you mark it as resolved, you've greatly reduced the
chance that a maintainer is going to notice the bug as still
outstanding. So you might want to rethink how you handled this report.
