I have close to a decades worth of bug triaging experience having done such
work for Fedora, GNOME and most recently Banshee. I'd be happy to dedicate
some time to getting the duplicates under control.

In my experience this kind of bug count bump is typical post release and
will settle down rather quickly. It should be manageable with just a
temporarily increased number of hands on deck.
