I'm not sure how accurate an automated check based on the summary would be, but I'm thinking about a scenario like this: - User wants to report a bug for package Foo - the tools shows him a list with short descriptions of the already reported bugs for the Foo package - he _decides_ if it's been already posted or not; Could I automate it more than that?
