Christian: Given that bug-buddy politely asks users to report crashes (i.e. they're doing us a favor), and the fact that most people don't know how to tell if two bugs are duplicates, I don't think that's a fair requirement to place on users. It's something we can definitely encourage, but I think that's it.
I think I was politely asking , not demanding a favour. If you think this is offending I'll alter the text.
I don't think it was offending; I agree that you asked politely. What I was pointing out was that it sounded like a requirement (which you were nicely drawing people's attention to); meaning that users would be unlikely to file future bug reports because they wouldn't know how to verify if a bug they had was a duplicate of several other similarly sounding ones and thus just not file at all. Anyway, it's just a nitpick. Thanks for all your help and awesome work in triaging. :)
