As Colin Watson and others have pointed out, duplicate submission of the same bug is easy to deal with and erroneneous conflation of different bugs is very hard to deal with. There are lots of other ways Malone could be improved to make the developers' lives easier and most of those are more important. There are many already-reported requests for improvement which the LP team are hard at work on. But it is indeed also useful to think about ways we could increase the quality of bug reports. Personally the single most important unanswered question is how to find a way to make bug reports contain much more information than they currently do. At the moment, just as an example, we don't even find out what version of the software is involved !
