> Well, that's kinda part-and-parcel with closing bugs as "already
filed". Surely the person closing a bug as a duplicate must have a
duplicate bug in hand and not just "some idea" that some other similar
bug must exist.

Not especially no, I've read regular discussions and requests for such
options over years but I didn't keep note of each bug numbers

> Put another way, surely the person responsible for a given package or
aspect of the distro must be very familiar with all of the open issues,
or have the ability to find all open issues related to his
responsibilities very quickly and easily -- much more so than a user
reporting a bug.

Right, it might take a short time search for one duplicate, but hundred of 
duplicates are opened every day and it quickly counts in hours of time a day, 
time which could be used to work on the issue or search for numbers.
Reopening this bug since I was just trying to keep the buglist usable by 
closing known duplicates, I don't want to spend my days searching for 
duplicates, some other triager might pick it up or the bug will just be a bit 
less easy to work on.
