Bug Description

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but it appears there is no one assigned to monitor bulez bugs. I opened bug #669271 and accidently assigned it to aptdaemon. I switched it to bluez-utils:
affects: aptdaemon → bluez-utils

Now I see it says:
Subscribers: itismike (me)
Also notified:Registry Administrators

...nothing about notifying any bluetooth devs.

I looked in the bluez page (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bluez-utils) and it states:
"Bluez Utilities must be configured in order for Launchpad to forward bugs to the project's developers.
Bugs are tracked in BlueZ Trac. "

So I look at BlueZ Trac and it looks like another void: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/bluez-trac

Where did I get off-track here?

I think you have discovered a bug in Launchpad. You should have been informed that bluez-utils bugs are not tracked in Launchpad, and prompted to report the bug in a distro package and/or create a bug watch to a bug in the external bug tracker.

No one is watching that project and seeing that the bugs are forwarded upstream. The Ubuntu package derived from the project is watched by the Ubuntu community.

affects: launchpad → malone
summary: - launchpad doesn't track bluez-utils
+ Users can retarget bugs to projects that do not use Launchpad

This bug also affects Ubuntu Software Center, since we currently track bugs in the package rather than the project. I'm fairly sure this bug report itself is a duplicate, but haven't found the original.
