There is a alternative. For some of my packages, I have asked upstream to sign up for a Fedora account and apply to watch commits and bugs. Since my packages are either patch free or I apply patches recommended by upstream, they have been willing to do this. Saves me a lot of work from having to do mechanical forwarding of bug reports. I understand this method won't work for everyone but it is well worth considering. .
You can't expect this from every upstream developer... Maybe from big projects, but not every small programm with maybe just a snipped in it.
I already said that very clearly. I merely wanted package maintainers to consider it as a option. That's all.
That's true, but it sounded more like a 'solution' to the problem, and that's unfortunately not :( We should also find a solution for packages, where the maintainers didn't consider it as a option… Unfortunately this will be the case for the most of the packages out there.
