[Bug 1322968] Re: Changing country leads to invalid locale

[Uqbar]

I appreciate a lot the work done by the (K)Ubuntu team, this is why I
was here to try to help.

I am a plain simple KUbuntu user, just like many others.
I use KUbuntu, not KDE alone nor Debian.
I encountered a bug and I tried to reproduce it in order to report it properly on (K)Ubuntu bug tracking. A report matching my situation was already there, so I joined the crowd.

I have no idea whether this is a bug coming from KUbuntu, KDE, Debian,
GnuLibC or the kernel: I am not a dev at (K)Ubuntu nor a (re)packager,
just a miserable simple user (MSU).

Someone else, the original triager, has more knowledge than I have
(quite easy) and knows/understands/checks that this is a real bug that's
not been introduced by (K)Ubuntu itself but by "someone else"(tm), aka
an "upstream" package.

So the bug needs to be filed upstream, not here. Cool. As the best knowledge about the bug is in the original triager heads, he/she asks the MSU to file the bug upstream.
So the MSU goes upstream, registers a new user (he won't even likely need any more) and goes through the process of the bug filing. By starting with a fresh new installation.

This means that the subsequent bug triaging steps are in the MSU hands,
which has much less knowledge than the original triager.

Long story shorter, it takes more time and resources by the MSU and by
the upstream developer team to handle the bug, just to avoid the
original triager a little bit more work: report the bug upstream with
all the details she/he already has got.

Does this make any sense?
Does this make any sense after 7+ years?

I am not really sure.
