An upstream bug tracker is much more preferable IMHO.

Distro bug trackers are only good for tracking stuff that distro
developers might actually work on.

If it's a bug or feature request that is relevant upstream and is never
going to reach the top of the distro developer's queue, then the
information belongs somewhere that upstream developers or developers of
other distros can see it.

Of course, an upstream bug tracker that is mostly ignored isn't much
help either. The KVM tracker is an example of that. But it's still
better to have stuff ignored in an upstream bug tracker than stuff
ignored in a distro bug tracker.
