I can accept the fact that people complain about bugs / missing enhancements
on all kinds of mailing lists, bug tracking systems, feature request
documents and similiar. I however can not accept that when they report it to
some random place expect the KDE maintainers to waste their time on searching
it somewhere and finding it. And I am upset about people after a while then
asking those KDE maintainers why the hell they didn't bother fixing their
problem.

Its not my intention at all to sabotage bugs.debian.org. Its a great bug
tracking system and its open, and it often contains great ressource of
information. I even use it from time to time (mostly reading though)

No. Its the job of the debian maintainer and/or the original reporter to
forward their reports upstream when its an upstream issue.

Oh, thats a great suggestion, I'd even support you in implementing it. There
is actually a trace-back-kinda functionality being implemented for bugzilla
like systems I believe. Ah, the debian bugtracking system doesn't use
bugzilla btw.

Relax, nobody is being pissed. You just have to realize that if you tell
person A about a problem, person B doesn't magically get notified about it.
This is not different than in other situations in real life.
