For Ubuntu there is a Questions feature in Launchpad is similar to the bug tracker but for support.

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu

But in over a decade doing Ubuntu stuff I never used it and I think the number of people using it it very few.  Users would rather use forums like https://ubuntuforums.org/ or Stack Exchange or Discourse for asking for help.  Which takes me onto a related topic I'll e-mail about next.
