Bug Description
Apport is a great tool for reporting bugs. For privacy reasons reports with back traces are marked as private until a dev has rechecked them.
If someone reports the same crash afterwards with Apport it is marked as a duplicate of the first one. The problem is that it is not possible for the second reporter to see the first one so he can't add information or see what this is all about. Even the backtrace gets removed from the duplicate one so it is not so easily possible to report it upstream.
If Launchpad supports private attachments only the privacy relevant parts like backtraces could be marked as such which makes it possible for the duplicate reporters to add information and check the status.
