<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I was wondering how we should be handling duplicate bugs that we identify. I've found Bug 88517 and 92484 being identical (assigned to two different developers). Should we contact the developers to have them review and mark these as duplicates themselves or would the developers feel comfortable if we mark them as duplicates for them? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If I do mark bugs as duplicates I assume the general rule is to leave the first bug around while marking any newer bug as a dup with a link back to the original, correct?</FONT></P>
