Upstream aims to simplify the support cycle and make it more efficient. One of the main problems that support staff face when helping people via IRC or mailing lists is getting user log files across.
Often this process is time consuming, and many new users may even be unable to find / copy these logs. Upstream does this for them by finding and transmitting the log files relevant to a specific issue.
