Empathy/Telepathy bugs process clarification.

Brian, komputes, David, thanks for this discussion.  Especially as Karmic 
approaches release, I'd like to make sure 
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~desktop-bugs/+packagebugs will include 
telepathy. It sounds like this would also mean the desktop team would be 
watching even more closely for empathy bugs to upstream -- am I right?

That sounds great!  And upstream could work more closely with them to clear 
up problems and see patterns in bugs upstreamed from Launchpad.

I see that you've had some Ubuntu Bug Days focusing on Empathy in the past:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/Planning

and that it's been suggested you have "Hug days for each new default 
application before they are included in a release of Ubuntu. For Karmic 
this is Empathy and Banshee."  So here's an idea for the next Bug Day: 
upstream all the Launchpad bugs on Empathy that need upstreaming -- or some 
nice round number of them, like 40.  Some places to start:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/empathy/+bugs?field.status_upstream=pending_bugwatch&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1

search for empathy within 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.status_upstream=pending_bugwatch&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy?field.searchtext=&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.omit_dupes=on&field.status_upstream=pending_bugwatch&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1

That's just an idea to help get through the current backlog.

Best,
