(Get the code!)
I'm sure omitting bugs is necessary. But Malone needs a better way of dealing with duplicates.
Say I filed a bug in package nautilus related to icon size, because it happened there, knowing not much about internals. An expert reassigns this to ubuntu-artwork and marks it as duplicate.
Another user sees the icon problem in nautilus too, but searching for bugs in package nautilus wont find an existing bug, so yet another bug duplicate is filed.
So it might be a good idea to keep a reference to places where bugs are reported, even they don't belong there. Might work with an "came-from-tag" or general tag based.
And of course, when searching for bugs with keywords all duplicates should be taken into account. The result could be showing only the main-bug noting that already #n duplicates exist.
