Review: Needs Information code + ui

Hi Ian.

The code looks fine, but I have some concerns about the layout and messages. I 
think we want to decide what we want to do about these issues, and decide which 
branch we want to address them

1. The buttons in the screenshot are centred. No design guidelines for any 
os/web site I have seen suggest centred is correct. Maybe the centreing is an 
illusion created by the very large content of the bug listing extending beyond 
the width of the other elements. Lp's rules state the forms action buttons are 
to bottom left. lazr would place them at the bottom right. We don't have many 
example align right with real button -- The create milestone overlay is the 
only one I recall.

2. More bother. The Lp's overlays prefer to make the data the action. So in the 
screenshot, The cancel action would be the cancel button in the upper right 
corner, The search field would always be visible so search again is not needed. 
Plus, taking the search away implies a two step picker and the green progress 
bar says there is only one step. So instead of Save Duplicate, the user would 
choose the bug in the listing...but this is not a list. We don't want a listing 
either. The link to the found bug will reload my page and I loose state. Like 
the person picker if we need a link we need to be clear that the user can "view 
details" with a icon telling the user that the link opens a new window.

3. I do not think the privacy warning will deter people from being rude. Maybe
   Marking this bug a duplicate of a private bug prevents contributors from 
helping,
   and encourages the reporting of more duplicate bugs.
   Is there a public version of this bug that can be used instead?

4. Is it really an error to mark a bug a duplicate of a bug that is already the 
duplicate? I think this is a no-op where the overlay just closes with a 
success.
