+filebug page when no upstream tracker is linked could be more helpful

[Barry Warsaw]

An issue came up while I was CHR. I'm not positive it's a bug but I did promise to capture it, so here ya go.

A user went to http://launchpad.net/gitso and wanted to file a bug. So they went to the bugs pillar and clicked on Report a bug, ending up here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gitso/+filebug

Gitso doesn't use Launchpad for bugs, so a yellow box comes up saying:

Launchpad doesn't know what bug tracker Gitso uses. Do you know? Tell us about it.

The user then dutifully clicked on the link, which led to a feedback@ message. While he told us in that message about the upstream tracker, I'm not sure it's actually the job of the CHR to make that link. I think that's something that's more appropriate for the maintainer of the package. Maybe that text should say something like:

Launchpad doesn't know what bug tracker Gitso uses. Do you know? If so, please _contact the maintainer of the Gitso package in Launchpad_ and let them know about it!

That link would point to the Contact this user page of the maintainer of the package.

This was fixed of successive landing to the project bug page, usage enums, also-affects, package linking, and the most recent change to replace the suggestion to use feedback@.
