I don't understand why you'd take that attitude.  It's trivial for
distribution package maintainers to send good bug reports
upstream, the total volume is unlikely to be a problem, and it
improves the chances that users' and distros' problems with the
software can be identified and resolved effectively.  Where's the
negative side?

In short: Joseph, why don't *you* either ask distros to submit bug
reports to us, or else read the distro bug trackers and send good
reports to us (and maybe add a note to the distr bug trackers to
say that it's been sent upstream).  It's an easy job, right?
