What happens is I'll go to their page, and write up a bug there, then link it here. Launchpad will track the status, but not the comments etc. Since the upstream author will most likely ask more questions. Since you already have a launchpad account, once launchpad has the bug linked, just click on it and log in with openID (LP is an openID provider, see https://help.launchpad.net/OpenID) and subscribe to the bug. (You'll need to use the non 2.0 method listed at the bottom of the page).
