Tell me about it. gnome-power-manager 2.18.0 had a bug where it would segfault when you locked the screen if HAL was not running. 2.18.1 fixed the bug, but that still means I get about 5-10 duplicate bugzillas a day. The guys triaging this stuff have been great, but it's still more and more emails for me. I'm really thinking the auto-submit thing to bugzilla should have more text like: 1. You do not have debuginfo packages installed, the trace may not be useful to the developer. 2. [click here to check to see if the crash was already reported] 3. You are running an old version. This crash may be fixed in newer versions of the product. Point 1 assumes we can tell what useful debuginfo packages should be installed for each package. Point 2 assumes we can automatically check for similar stacktraces. Point 3 assumes the bugbuddy can query the servers for the latest version. I'm sure other maintainers must be getting as demoralised as myself when dealing with so many duplicates of a fixed bug.
