OK, do we know the reason for that? If the bug watch is configured but
not working, we should file bugs on launchpad itself about that. If the
bugs don't have upstream bug watches because launchpad doesn't support
the relevant upstream tracker type, we should file wishlist bugs on
launchpad itself.

So maybe there needs to be a better way to see at a glance in bug
listings whether there is an upstream task with a "Fix Committed" or
"Fix Released" status?
