Comment 3 for bug 777874

I agree with robert that the confirmed/triaged workflow could benefit from some additional thinking.

There's actually two separate problems here, as I see it.

First, the core problem I think Kate is trying to get at is that the volume of bug reports to Ubuntu is very high, well beyond the available developer / package maintainer / triager resources to stay atop. Launchpad needs to be better at helping developers filter down their lists of bugs to ones that really do need attention. So having a way to limit your view to "bugs that affect N or more people" would help here.

The second problem is that the Confirmed state is confusing to users and a bit redundant with the 'affects me too' function. I think given a well designed solution to the first problem, the Confirmed state could possibly just go away.
