Good points.

I think the easiest way to implement this is to create a layer between
DrKonqi and bugzilla. A database where all backtraces are sent to, good
duplication searching can get implemented, additional information (needed
for those points) can get added - and for real bugs a bugzilla entry
can be created.

This would require manual backtrace triaging too - but can be done in
a specialized,
optimized (web-?) application.

Think of it like the brainstorm forum.
