Just another bit of insight:
In that same bug, people seem to keep attaching crash reports, even
though no more is needed. I believe that they are doing so not to add
more info really but because they are not sure whether their crash is
the same as the one described in the bug, so they expect some kind of
confirmation:
"Yes, your crash report indicates that you're experiencing this bug"
or
"Your crash report is about something else, please report a new bug"

Just so you keep in mind :)
Thanks

PS. Forwarding to bugsquad so they can keep Robert Collins' plea in mind
as well :)
