Perhaps the issue here is -

if 'bug' is not a flavour issue e.g. mousepad for Xubuntu, leafpad for 
Lubuntu, Kate for Kubuntu, but something more generic like

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1577540

or

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clock-setup/+bug/1587555

How does someone from a flavour looking long before Ubuntu have started 
looking at Final Beta get these things looked at?

I actually pinged Mathieu on irc re first, second was originally a 
ubi-console bug, shortly after doing so he had worked it out, sorted a 
fix then landed it.

While I've got the time to do that - no guarantee that some 'can' fix it.

Also - if we leave these issues to Ubuntu's Final Beta - does that not 
mean there's a massive backlog of generic issues that flavours have 
found in the preceding months?

(That does not imply in any way that when 'flavours' find things those 
things are lefr - they aren't. There just seems to be no automatic 
method here)
