A good chunk of the time--and a disproportionately large part of the frustration--is checking for potential duplicates. The hard part, of course, is imagining the words that an existing report might use to describe the problem. An implausibly short list from a bz query or a tremendously long one are both useless. If bibisecting shows that a bug is fairly new, a limitation by bug creation date can usefully restrict the number of potential duplicates returned. Still, finding duplicates is the part of the process about which I feel least competent. (Needless to say, I am writing this weeks later because I am searching for a potential duplicate.)
