@Chris,

You reported the bug in the right place, as all bugs should first be
reported in Launchpad. On a piece of software like Nautilus, one of the
first things that happens is to identify whether the bug is due to
Ubuntu packaging or whether it's in the original code from upstream (in
this case GNOME). So in effect, Sebastien was saying: "I've had a look,
the bug is an upstream one". When this is the case, it then needs to be
forwarded upstream. The 'someone' in Sebastien's message is generally a
Ubuntu BugSquad member but can be anybody who has a Bugzilla account and
feels that he understand the bug enough to forward it. In this case, I
did it so there is no need for you to do anything.

As for automating the upstream reporting, this is not done today because
it requires a few manual steps in addition to just filing a new bug (in
particular, you need to check whether the bug already exists upstream or
not). Having said this, Launchpad could probably be extended to help
this process but I don't think it can be fully automated.

Anyway, thanks for reporting this bug and please report any other that
you find.
