Thanks for this reminder. Maybe we can codify that somewhere in the
wiki. Also the use of submittodebian (ubuntu-dev-tools package) should
be encouraged.

If you want your specific concerns about future feature implementation
to be answered or addressed, why don't you choose a forum where
Launchpad developers can answer the question?

All open systems have the problem that they could be tampered with. As
somebody who did a lot of Desktop bug triage, I know that a lot of
people will see simple-bug-forwarding as beneficial.

A few things TTBOMK:
 - the upstream bug tracker people will need to opt in
 - the use of the "forward now" button will not be accessible in the UI
to everybody by default

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
