Currently, when a program crashes and drakbug catches it, it offers you to report the bug to bugs.mageia.org. What can happen is that the crash has already been reported, and filing dupes isn't going to be of any help to developers. drakbug should rather look for existing bugs, and if it exists, simply CC the user to that bug (maybe with the comment it used to paste in the new bug). Or Bugzilla could check the bug summary, and if it exactly matches an existing bug summary (and the comment contains "Drakbug caught it"), then it should CC the user to the matching bug rather than filing a new one. I'm filing this RFE on the Bugzilla side, as I don't know how hard it is to do this from the drakbug side.
ping?

Do you know how this could be done in Bugzilla ?

(In reply to comment #2) > Do you know how this could be done in Bugzilla ? With an extension. This shouldn't be too hard to do. But first upgrade to Bugzilla 4.0.

It would still be good, though, to know how many users are affected by that same bug. It would be nice if drakbug could add a comment to the existing report when another user hits the same bug. That would also add him/her to the CC, so that if there's a patch that needs to be tested by affected users, as many affected users as possible will see the test request.
