Lots of bugs (half?) manifest differently. On top of this, titles
change as we go back in history. On top of this, if we see a different
bug, it does not mean that the original bug is also not there.
This will sure solve some subset of cases better then the current
logic. But I feel that that subset is smaller then what the current
logic solves.

This is very limited set of info. And in the end I think we've seen
all bug types being duped on all other bugs types pair-wise, and at
the same time we've seen all bug types being not dups to all other bug
types. So I don't see where this gets us.
And again as we go back in history all these titles change.
