But you can't expect a handful of developers, only two of whom are paid to work on ALSA, to track every distro's bugzilla either. It's hard enough to keep up with the ALSA bug tracker. The best solution is for the distros to make sure to refer users with ALSA problems to the ALSA bug tracker, and for the maintainers of the distro bugzillas to properly forward bugs upstream, like Debian does.
