As Edwin noted, there is in fact an Upstream keyword in RH Bugzilla (and
a 'MoveUpstream' keyword). 'Upstream' appears only ever to have been
used for two bugs, however. 'MoveUpstream' seems to have been used
extensively in the past, but rarely lately: it does seem to fit the case
I described, however. So, yeah, if you like this idea, use the
'MoveUpstream' keyword. :)
