Bug Description

In bug 762431 we can see that a duplicate bug was set to Fix Released by the janitor because the bug number was mentioned in the changelog. It'd be more useful if the janitor were to check if the bug is a duplicate and then comment on the bug the duplicate bug is a duplicate of - bug 716711 in the example. I suggest commenting because its possible the duplicity is incorrect.

This probably isn't a completely accurate count but it gives an idea:

ubuntu.searchTasks(status=['Fix Released'],bug_commenter=janitor,omit_duplicates=False)
len([task for task in tasks if task.bug.duplicate_of is not None])
232
