Package: reportbug Version: 3.17 Severity: wishlist
When reporting a bug using reportbug all the outstanding bugs of a package are shown. This can be quite a list. Could it be an idea to first ask the user to give the short description of the bug and to use this description to only show outstanding bugs that are similar to the discription?This might reduce the number of duplicate bug reports, because when you have to read through all the bugs it is easy to not see your bug was already reported. -- Package-specific info: ** /home/arnout/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "2.61" mode standard ui text realname "A.M.P.
