Where would you have put it before?

What about doing a title search for Debian?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/ReportingToDebian seems to stand out to me
as a good place.

About the forwarding of bugs?

If you mean that the person reporting the bug is the person that
forwards it upstream, I don't know. We have a lot of bugs that are filed
by users and are forward by somebody who either triaged the issue or who
fixed the bug.

The Debian case might be different but in the case of GNOME more than
95% of the bugs were not forwarded by the bug reporter. (Especially
since the majority of bugs the MOTU team deals with are bugs that have
patches.)

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
