Project Bugs page may show the wrong reporter of a bug

[Bernhard]

The site https://bugs.launchpad.net/awn-extras (and similar sites in bugs.launchpad) may show the wrong reporter of a bug. The pattern is always

Bug #????? "blalalalala" reported on ????? by "whatshisname".

But "whatshisname" may not always be the reporter but some other person who contributed to the bug.

For example:
1. Go to the staging.launchpad.net page for any bug you didn't report, and that isn't filed against Awn.
2. Choose "Also affects project", enter "awn", and confirm "Awn".
3. Go to <https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/awn>.

What you see: In both the "Latest bugs reported" and "Latest bugs touched" sections, Launchpad falsely claims you reported the bug and that it was reported a few moments ago.
What you should see: The bugs listed, but with their actual reporters and dates reported.

Can you point me to a specific bug where the reporter shown is incorrect?

I filed Bug #257932, but it is displayed on https://bugs.launchpad.net/awn-extras as by Andrew Starr (probably because he made some changes to it later).

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Oh, so Andrew assigned the original bug to a new package. So maybe this is intentional, but I think it's a bit unintuitive.

[Graham Binns (gmb)]

Marking this as Won't Fix since, as you pointed out, the name listed next to the bug on http://bugs.launchpad.net/awn-extras is - correctly - that of the person who created the bug task on awn-extras project.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Launchpad still shouldn't claim that a bug was reported by someone who did not actually report it. I can't reproduce this bug on staging.launchpad.net, but if it is reproducible, I think it should be reopened.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

I mentioned bug #257932. You can "touch" the bug and then check the overview site https://bugs.launchpad.net/awn-extras

This should reproduce the bug.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Ah, thanks, reproduced it now.
