As a dev/user I happen to agree with the sentiment of the last two authors. Sure Nautilus doesn't have anything to do with this, but that is what the user sees. I remember reading something somewhere that Ubuntu was going to work better with upstream to help solve this very problem.

1. A "user" files a bug he sees and does not necessarily know what package is responsible for said bug.
2. Ubuntu devs (or other midnight hackers) figure out what is "really" wrong and internally assign it to the correct package.
3. Somehow the bugs are transfered upstream with links back to launchpad bug.
4. Upstream fixes (eventually in there own time since we don't own or control them)
5. Launchpad bug is marked fixed with the correct upstream version.
6. Users and Devs rejoice!

Otherwise users are going to be intimidated (which goes against the code-of-conduct IIRC) and leave the project.

...or did i mis-read something somewhere?

Cheers.
