I like the idea from your linked LWN article, where "dberkholz" commented, that (s)he asks his users for his/her Gentoo package(s) to report it upstream, but CC him/her to this bug (see http://lwn.net/Articles/423838/), when they are only reproducible upstream. And if this could be done the other way (= to report bugs downstream, but CC a generic mail address, so it could be tracked by our devs/QAs) as well, would be great :) What do you (or others) think? Would this be possible? Though it would be a lot of work to find the different maintainers on the different distros and ask them for permission / their opinion beforehand ... :( > Do we have a 'downstream' mailing list for distros?

On my desktop PC, I am only using LO builds from our website. But after starting my eeePC 1000H with Debian Testing i386 and the installed Germanophone version of LO 4.1.2.3 with Build ID: 410m0 (Build 3) there, it opens www.libreoffice.org/get- help/bug/?LOversion...
