Save us a few hours of bugzilla grunt work by not filing two

If anyone has a list of good improvements that can be made to
bugzilla to help is triaging let me know.
Over the years the single biggest complaint voiced on these lists is
the poor search results bugzilla provides. If the searches
provided better results perhaps duplcatess wouldn't be so
prevalent.

I agree with the search feature for bugs. Bug searches could return hits
for bugs filed against rawhide with dates related to the bug era
(fc5t1,2 or 3) since these should be test release bugs in reality. This
would cut down on the duplicate bug filings.
Rawhide since yum was adopted does not allow rawhide to be rawhide
during test phases. It is the test release update source also.
I think having actual update repos for the test releases would eliminate
this factor.
Bugzilla itself would work better if it would either group all
duplicates in some type of directory structure or would merge
information from one bug that is a duplicate of another bug into a
common report.
Another ideal condition would be linking all these similar reports into
a common "best of this bug" (Useful data for resolving the bug) for
commonly duplicated bug problems. There are some developers which have
done something similar for highly duplicated problems and the results
were positive. (gcc and mga/intel problem comes to mind)
