LP has not facility to attach the report generated by ubuntu-bug to already reported bug

LP has not facility to attach the report generated by ubuntu-bug to already reported bug:

For example, I got the crash report , or i want to report bug about Ubuntu on LP, So, i will collect the all necessary information through the "ubuntu-bug" CLI. It will automatically gathered all information to report the bug related to Pacakge / PID and redirect me to LP. But, after going to LP, Someone can found that this bug has already been filed, But reporter has not provided the necessary information. So, LP is not providing facility to attach that reports to existing reported bug. It's only giving the facility to subscribe to that bug.

ubuntu-bug is a part of the apport package and that same package also includes the command 'apport-collect'. Apport collect is passed a bug number on the command line like 'apport-collect 356007' and debugging information is gathered and uploaded to that bug number. The information chosen is dependent on the package the bug is filed about.

Biran,

Yes, i am aware with "apport-collect", Nice to tool, help to collect the crash report. But my scenario is different. For example, In Bug # 339187, mixer_applet2 is utilizing 100% CPU, When i realized about that, i tried to collect all necessary data about that PID (I think "apport-collect" is not giving that facility) using "ubuntu-bug", so i can file a bug. But LP suggest me that bug is already exist, fine. But only gave option to subscribe to that bug, not the option to upload my collected data through "ubuntu-bug". Ok, Subscribed to that bug, but then i found that original reporter of the bug has not provided the enough information about that :(. So, in that case it would good if i would have attached those data, but LP doesn't gave that option.

For above scenario i raised this bug. I hope you will get my point. I did that using "apport-cli". But, i uploaded the report manually. So, LP / "ubuntu-bug" should give the facility to attached the the data to existing bug if found. Yes, this should be the enhancement bug.
