Note that this is going to annoy a LOT of upstreams. Several of mine have
requested that bugs in their code be reported to them but that bugs specific to
Fedora (packaging bugs, ...) not be forwarded to them.

Note also that bugzilla.redhat.com is the upstream for several packages
in Fedora so this will not make us move away from it.

Jóhann, can you supply the dataset that you used to deduce that "More often
than not"?

> know the code at all so filling the bug downstream makes no sense.

This is the real problem and you should fix it instead of implementing 
hacky workarounds like this proposal.
