Bug Description
Hello.
This is a suggestion to have the ability to display all the duplicates of a bug report, on the same page.
Often the first bug report may contain scanty information, while a later report can have more in depth iformation, icluding plenty of diagnostics info, and suggested solutions.
The "master" bug is usually chosen to be the first one, not the most informative one.
This tends to push the additional information to "behind the scenes" locations.
It would be handy to have an optional facility to be able to view all duplicates (at least their descriptions, but may be also option to see their comments [drop down extra view, at respective page position]) would bring all this information together on the one page.
It would also help for situations where somebody wants to do copy and pastes top generate a summary of current status, or a conclusion at the end of the situation.
e.g. a Package request - the web site addresses changed - project went into limbo, new web site got found, updated program came out part way through packaging, some bugs got found, patches added, program forked - and then became a different program. The content of the "description" text for the summary of the program information (which would get used in the packaging files) changes and needs to be updated.
This helps to cut down on the book-keeping, research, and number of open windows and tabs, when working on a project.
Thank you.
