Some of your bugs are lacking critical information that makes it 
difficult to see if they are even worth investigating fully. To this end 
you shouldn't have to know what this information is or that you need to 
provide it unless you are asked for it.

Is there an official bug triaging group for ubuntu (wiki turns up 
nothing)? If so i would like to volunteer some time each week to helping 
the project meet its goals. If not i would like to spearhead an effort 
to organize such a group to make bug reporters feel valued for taking 
the time to provide the valuable input they give to the project and 
equally importantly discriminate the true bugs from the anomalies of 
userland. One of the values that creates the sense of community in 
opensource software provides is feeling that your contributions (even 
bug reports) make a difference and improve the project. Quick attention 
to refine unconfirmed bugs solve 2 problems at once. thx, -mf
