I believe default status is "CONFIRMED" or not is not Regina's concern. To reduce "DUPLICATED" defect, it require reporter search BZ carefully to find if there is any similar defect opened before, but how to query BZ it depends on reporter's knowledge and which keyword he used. We cannot make zero DUPLICATED defect, but we do can ask reporter query with more keywords in BZ before open a new one. So I think add more common keywords in BZ keyword field may help us reduce DUPLICATED defect.
