Hey, @ubuntu-johnwash. I agree @tafthorne's comment was long, but it
also went into more detail than mine (mine left some steps as "exercises
for the reader"). I'm glad I was able to summarize the key part for you

@kfogel: really? Is that what tafthorne's suggestion was? Well, in
that case, I agree, that's brilliant.
@tafthorne: why did I not realise how brilliant your suggestion was?
Simple. Because its length made me mutter 'tl;dr' and skip on to the
next. Please, if you're going to make further brill
+1 on @tafthorne's suggestion in comment#21 that there be a widget that
a maintainer can use to easily swap a private master bug with some

specifically about private vs public, but I'll talk about it in those
terms here, since th
This bug happened to me today. I found an easily reproducible bug in a
package, so because I am a helpful person, I did a fresh install just to
repro it in +1, and submitted a core dump through apport. Because I knew
for a fact that there was no private information in the clean install I
set my bug

Would 'Confirmed' be a more appropriate status than 'In progress'?
Indeed, given that this bug was reported over 5 years ago, even
mentioning the word 'progress' carries a touch of irony. :(

For the record, http://errors.ubuntu.com is working really well these

#14, @Robert. Someone who has access to private data and is
irresponsible or careless is always a danger, no more in this than any
other scenario. Obviously private attachments would need to be clearly
marked as private.
Why would it be confusing to have attachments marked 'private'? Private

That would be an unsafe and confusing UI. Unsafe because if someone
pastes in private data from the private attachments, disclosure would
occur. Confusing because being able to see the bug but not the

I've just hit this same problem on submitting bug #975939.

Not quite, I'd expect that the extra bug that apport would create to
move the private attachments to would be a duplicate of the master bug.
So it would add an extra dupe only, plus a link to the "data dupe" into
the description.
