FWIW, if you see people filing the same bug over & over you can
mark the newer ones as duplicates to stop them cluttering the
issue dashboard

The comment box type

  /duplicate #23423

and submit the comment, with no other text, and it'll close this
bug and link to #23423.

Patches then only need mention the one bug that remains open.
