It is often trivial to identify duplicates and merge them.  OTOH, once reused
bugs are identified there's no trivial solution that splits them appart without
carriing the confusion with them.

When managing a large amount of bug reports, the last thing I want is that
revisiting a bug takes me half an hour just to figure out what was this about.

No problem.  I want to make it clear that your contribution is appreciated;
just that some things get on my nerves from time to time...
