This is also far from ideal. Unless you have a lot of time on your
hands, going through the bugs and trying to figure out if they are the
same as yours is a nuisance. This should be a job of some program
that runs periodically, or, failing that, of a human (whom we
obviously lack).
Gathering all the information needed for a good bug report is already
a non-trivial job (witness how many veteran Emacs contributors fail to
do that!). We should not burden the bug submitters with any
additional costs.
