I recently upgraded my notebook to Ubuntu's Edgy Eft, their current development version. It includes new versions of many software, most notable (for me) the current Gnome development version. I expected lot's of crashers and bugs, and stumbled over a few, of course. When Evolution began to crash, this nice little "Bug Buddy" program told me that it has collected crash information and was ready to send that to a bugtracker. I know how to use most bugtrackers, of course, but I thought "why not, this little program is very nifty and handy" and clicked "send" - and guess what? Ever since then I get about 2-10 mails a day notifying me that some other bug has been marked as a duplicate of my bug. It must be pretty frustrating for the gnome hackers to get loads of crash-reports that were already reported, where a fix is in the works and it even is not the fault of their software (evolution), but of the new beta version of firefox (evolution uses the nss-library from mozilla). So, is this bug-buddy thing useful or does it just help to spam the anyway overcrowded bugzilla with new bugs for every crasher it encounters?
