I had tried to do some scripts that interact between the BTS and bugs.kde.org'zilla ... and I've renounced. Just for the sake of the statistics [1] or [2] will show you that we have to deal with 1200+ bugs. let's just say most of them just rot in the BTS ... the maintainer-has-to-forward-the-bugs-to-the-upstream-for-the user is valid for packages that are reasonnably small, and when the bug tracking system of the upstream is reasonnably scriptable. Projects like mozilla and all its childs projects, KDE, X11, ... the task is just too big, and seeing the users forwarding bugs when they can would be quite a relief.
