We routinely get mail from some distribution packagers about downstream
issues/decisions.  Maitland Bottoms for Debian is good about this, we
hear and get patches from Jaroslav Skarvada from Redhat, the Arch
maintainer (sorry, forgot the name) pops up in here on occasion, etc.

It really is up to them to send issues upstream to us, not the other way
around.  I try to listen closely to and work with those that do.
