That if why "work with upstream" is so important: Maintainers are a scarce resource, adding the checking of a dozen different bugtracking systems, looking over sources in a variety of formats (and probably based on different versions) to distill relevant patches is just too much.

There are way less than a dozen popular Linux distributions with active bug trackers.
