Well, I searched around a bit, and I couldn't find something that seemed to address this. Such a discussion could happen in a number of different places (or I may just be slow), so I could be missing it.
This might be relevant: Martin's blog entry, announcing client-side duplicate checking, suggests if a report duplicates a private bug, the users is prompted to create a new report, that can be duped later: "For the Launchpad crash database implementation we actually check if the bug is readable by the reporter, i. e. it is private and the reporter is in a subscribed team, or the bug is public; if not, we let him report the bug anyway and duplicate it later through the existing server-side retracer, so that the reporter has a chance of getting subscribed to the bug." http://www.piware.de/2011/11/apport-1-90-client-side-duplicate- checking/ This doesn't seem to be what's happening, AFAICT. Of course, that statement could be out of date by now, or I might misunderstand, etc. Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1015798 Title: apport directs users to invisible private bugs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1015798/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
