The problem is that, while for manually-filed reports, asking the reporter
to file the bug upstream usually works and also makes sense (because the
reporter knows best how to describe his/her issue and is usually able to
provide more information when upstream asks), ABRT bugs are usually filed by
lazy idiots who have hit a "fix my software!" button and expect everything
else to magically happen without them doing anything, so requests to
upstream bugs are usually met with total silence, occasionally with an
outright admission that they're too lazy to do that, and only in rare
occasions the bug actually gets upstreamed.
That said, I disagree that it's our job to upstream bugs, it's the tool's
failure that we're the ones getting them in the first place.
