Dear Maintainer,

I sometimes disagree with Debian developers that wants me to report bugs
directly to the application developers.
As a user, the Debian bug tracking system is a major improvement because it
centralizes bug reporting. Moreover, the "upstream" checkbox has not been
created just for fun.
But I also understand that some Debian developers don’t want to just be proxies
between users and application developers. I know at least two developers who do
not want to be proxies.
I suggest, if the Debian developer checks the right checkbox, that a bug with
the upstream check box ticked is automagically forwarded to the upstream
developers.
The Debian developer who do not want to be a proxy just fills in what is
needed, checks the right check box and poof, he now just has eventually to
check is the bug has been fixed upstream (maybe this can be automatized too).

Yours,
nicolas
