 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.status_upstream=pending_bugwatch&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1|Bugs that need forwarding]] to the Upstream bugtrackers.
 * [[http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/launchpad-database/unlinked-bugwatch.html|Unlinked upstream bugs]] - Sometimes people add a link to an upstream bug tracker in the comments of a bug but don't bother creating an upstream task. This is a list of possible targets that can be linked. (Lots of low hanging fruit in this list, but also a bunch of dupes and ones inappropriate to be linked.)
