I might if the bug tracker were hosted in a more open and neutral
place. Microsoft venues are places I will not go. Github in particular
has access problems. Luckily Debian shelters users with a bug
reporting policy¹ that concurs:

  “Don't file bugs upstream

   If you file a bug in Debian, don't send a copy to the upstream
   software maintainers yourself, as it is possible that the bug
   exists only in Debian. If necessary, the maintainer of the package
   will forward the bug upstream.”

I wonder if the BTS could use improvement on this. Theoretically a
maintainer should be able to press a button that rounds up a time
range of bugs marked upstream and concatenate them into a periodic
digest for the upstream bug tracker.
