Having such a report would certainly be a useful step, but the real point of this is to ensure that uploaders find out about breakage reported in a package they uploaded in a timely fashion, without having to subscribe to all Ubuntu bugs and do complicated filtering. This really needs actual bug mail to be sent out to the last uploader, preferably with an appropriate X-Launchpad-Message-Rationale.

This corresponds to an item on UbuntuInfrastructureNeeds:

  Temporarily adding the uploader as a bug contact for the package being uploaded

    * Rationale: Our development model is such that packages are often uploaded by a developer who has no ongoing relationship with the package. Because they do not receive bug reports for the package, it is easy for them to be unaware of having introduced a regression.
