Reporting AT bugs

As I go through the various AT applications I find various things that I 
would consider to be bugs. Some of these are related to several 
applications at once and most of them are upstream bugs. One example is 
an issue I have found with the high-viz themes. They generally, play 
nicely with the gnome desktop, though some icons in the menu (like 
gedit) are missing. It gets worse with other applications though. 
OpenOffice and Firefox do not have matching icons and in Firefox, the 
text turns an unreadable colour sometimes.

What is the best way of reporting these? Should these go straight into 
the Ubuntu bug tracker, or should they go upstream to Gnome/OOo/Ff, or 
all of the above? I think reporting AT-related bugs is a good way 
forward generally on this. I guess we should also try to track these in 
a sensible way in the wiki. It would be cool if we had an AT bug-squad 
who could report bugs upstream and track them as appropriate. Any 
volunteers for that sub-project? I think this should at least go on our 
'How can I help' page (when we set one up).
