Marking this as high since it has to potential, if fixed, to massively improve (or at least make it easier to improve) upstream linkages. |

1. From an existing bug report, choose "Also affects project".
2. Choose a project that does not use Launchpad for bug tracking, e.g. Evolution.
What happens: Launchpad records the bug as affecting Evolution, and does nothing else.
What should happen: Launchpad should advertise, to anyone reading the bug report, that the next step in getting the bug fixed is to link it to the equivalent bug report in Gnome Bugzilla. |
1. From an existing bug report, choose "Also affects project".
2. Choose a project that does not use Launchpad for bug tracking, e.g. Evolution.
What happens: Launchpad records the bug as affecting Evolution, and does nothing else.
Diagnosis
=========
This results in unusable bug tasks, with no useful links to upstream or anything else.
Possible solutions
==================
* Simply prevent the task being added.
* Prevent it being added but open a tab/form/link to the upstream tracker
* Have a workflow which steps the user into the upstream tracker and then back again
* Have LP maintain credentials to file bugs in the upstream tracker programatically. |

- affects project is using the wrong vocabulary. UsesBugsDistributionVocabulary illustrates how to make the correct vocabulary for projects.
