Why not adopt some packages, and help out by keeping an eye on bugzilla for them, trying to reproduce bugs, and kick them upstream as needed? That way you don't have to learn about many upstream bug trackers, just a few. --

Isn't this a workaround for bugzilla lacking an easy way to move bugs upstream? Wasn't the XML RPC interface meant to solve this?
Upstream projects use different versions of bugzilla and various other bug tracking systems. There isnt a universal method of doing it automatically. In some cases XML RPC does help.
