Note
One spelling serves as both past tense and participle, and which meaning of the verb lies behind it decides what it can do. In the software sense, getting a patch or library adopted by the original developers, it takes an object, so it passivizes freely: the fix was upstreamed. The intransitive sense, to stream upward, takes no object, so it forms perfects with have but no passive: the vapor had upstreamed.
