Yes, we have. Indeed, the best thing would be that people directly filed bugs to 
the MeeGo bugzilla (which is the upstream for our project), but in practice this 
won't happen: all bugs are created on the bugzilla instance relevant to the 
project under test (for Nokia products, this is the Nokia internal bugzilla) and 
very rarely this information is being duplicated elsewhere.

I agree that in a perfect world, we would have a distribution maintainer that 
would take care of cloning the relevant bugs to the upstream bugtracker, but the 
sad truth is that we don't, and the same developer who fixes the bug is often 
the same guy who is packaging the component both for MeeGo and the Nokia 
internal program. It's a resourcing problem, indeed, but still it would be good 
if MeeGo process would acknowledge it and take some steps to make contributors' 
lives easier. :-)

Ciao,
