Who's deciding they're duplicates?  It's very often unclear, when you
join a bug report, that it is actually the same bug.  I've often for
instance seen claims of "crashes", but unsupported by kernel dump or
oops, when what I see is very poor performance and many errors written
to log files.

No I never said that.  If openSUSE ppl are doing bug triage, and have
communication with the developers of the package involved they're in
an excellent position to make that decisions.

I don't think the average bug reporter will make a good job of it.
Most likely if it was done, frequently the reports would be unclear,
and would get orphaned, just like so many bugzilla reports I've seen
which get stuck for months (years?) on "NEEDINFO".
