Sure, the system isn't perfect. And the situation you describe
is
entirely feasible. However, I've seen bugs reported in which it is
perfectly clear that a user has never even attempted to see if there
was a duplicate, because their subject line or other aspects of their
bug were almost word for word identical to one or more other bug
reports, etc.
It would be quite useful to show bugs (perhaps the most recent ones?) for
the selected component. As things stand, you have to go search (select
package, etc; and the search isn't very intuitive as it stands) and if not
found, file a bug (again, select package etc). For me at least (far away in
network terms) this is slow and somewhat irritating.
