I don't think there is a bug. No community using Lp is using distros
that do not use Lp to track bugs. Users are not reporting that Lp is
missing bug tracking information, but they do report that Lp should
remove the many useless distros registered.

LP external bug trackers are antonymous from their project; distro bug
trackers are registered and used for bug watches. There is no
relationship between a distro and an external bug tracker.

I have reported related bugs, namely, stop letting user report bugs
against distros that do not use Lp to track bugs, and stop sending bug
emails to those owners. We have fixed the former and I plan to fix the
latter in a few weeks.
