👬 The reporter isn't who links the bug upstream, but a triager.


Thomas Ward:
 > Have you actually validated the value *upstream* from Ubuntu on this?

📺 As this dumps all the comments from upstream to Launchpad, all what's 
going on will be visible downstream too, won't it? So any mismatch 
should be obvious.


Brendan Perrine:

📩 For making it fast, original triagers can just subscribe to 
notifications and link upstream as soon as the bug gets confirmed back.

📊 And if you make the mean of days it took to triaged bugs in 
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=asked-to-upstream> to get 
triaged till the user was asked to upstream, it has been 10 days. Been 
the most frequently case the very same day, making the 50% of samples.

📉 Looking at 
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=asked-to-upstream&orderby=-heat&start=0> 
you can realize that the most grave and frequent bugs tend to be triaged 
months in advance of release.
