Yes, you may, but as long as checking related/duplicate bugs is not a
part of the usual bug filing procedure (aka M-x report-emacs-bug), it
won't have an effect, I guess.
It would be great if M-x report-emacs-bug would query for "Bug keywords"
first (e.g., tty cursor column), then somehow query the bug database and
show a buffer with possibly related bug subjects including links to the
bugtracker. Then a user should be able to either say "nope, I have a
different bug" and file a new one, or attach to one of the listed bugs.
I don't know if debbugs has some interface for querying the database, or
a better output format than the result html page. But even that doesn't
look awfully hard to parse to rip out the link to the bug and its
subject...
Bye,
