Here's one:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=279671

And another one more recent and somewhat different:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433552

This time a person from Debian without commit access (actually,
without access to Transifex) attached a file on a bug report and a
person with commit access (through Transifex!) went on to submit it.
