Sorry for the dup. I fell for a UI problem in Launchpad.
To see this, go here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediawiki/+filebug
and try to file a bug on mediawiki: put "mediawiki" in the summary field, then
click next.
In the process, launchpad will show a list of possible bugs. I saw the
following list:

It looks like Launchpad is sorting the list oldest-first, then
truncating it. So duplicates are almost inevitable.
Perhaps you could re-title this bug report "Launchpad UI encourages users to
file duplicate bug reports, by not always showing recent related bugs"
