I'd suggest creating an official bug tag for workaround and using the tag to search for bug reports with workarounds as it is not easy to search bug descriptions. We could then take the list of bugs with variations of the word 'workaround' in the bug description and tag them with the workaround tag. Some of this could be done automatically but the majority would need to be done manually. Then going forward we could update the description with the workaround and also tag the bug reports. -- Brian Murray Ubuntu Bug Master
