I think the use case of wanting to explain good bug filing practices via a wiki page or text field in LP is a good idea, so I'll mark this confirmed, at least, with more thought required later about how to address the underlying issues.

For example, I've noticed that many of the bug reports linked in the Ubiquity known issues doc would score very highly with "bug heat", a score based on things like number of subscribers, number of dupes, and other signs of a bug's gravitational pull.

The work I'm doing on a guided bug workflow will show, at least initially, only the "most common" (i.e. most duped) bugs, because a heat query could be too expensive for our current db model, since this is not yet a score cached in the Bug table.

So this solution could help address the "Known Issues" use case when reporting a bug (except for those who would actively avoid the guided bug workflow. :P)
