"Latest bugs reported" on project page misattributes bug reports

Bug #105105 reported by Alex Latchford
4
Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
Launchpad itself
Fix Released
Medium
Unassigned

Bug Description

The "Latest bugs reported" box on a project page suggests that the person who filed each bug as existing in that project is the "reporter". This often isn't true, especially for projects that don't use Launchpad for bugtracking. For example, see <https://launchpad.net/thunderbird>: usually all the bugs listed there will have actually been reported by someone else.

I think the issue is that, the reported is using the query from the 'Recently touched' section..

Thanks, Alex.

So you filed the bug under Thunderbird, but you didn't actually report the bug. This is similar to bug 76345.
