Parent article: Reporting bugs upstream
As a very happy Gentoo user I want to say +1 to this. I've reported bugs in Gentoo and upstream many times and I never considered it an undue burden to do so. Yes, some bug trackers are a bit confusing, and if the maintainer of a distro-package wishes bugs reported to her first then that's great and I'm sure we all appreciate them taking on extra work for us. But trying to establish that as SOP seems unreasonable to me.
