Upstream Bug Resources

• The Upstream Report - Bug linkage percentages for the top 50 projects in Ubuntu, sorted by open bugs. Please note that this report is still in Beta. Instructions for using the report.

• Bugs that need forwarding to the Upstream bugtrackers.

• Unlinked upstream bugs - Sometimes people add a link to an upstream bug tracker in the comments of a bug but don't bother creating an upstream task. This is a list of possible targets that can be linked. (Lots of low hanging fruit in this list, but also a bunch of dupes and ones inappropriate to be linked.)

• How to set a bug watch

• Why Upstream? - Thoughts from freedesktop.org on why sending things upstream is a good idea.

• There are also some cases where you don't need to file a bug upstream, for those cases please have a look at When not to Forward a bug upstream
