It looks like he sent it upstream, and reported another as a duplicate; good.

This one I am not sure I agree with. He marked it Invalid because it
was a driver issue and not a kde issue. I feel that should have been
Invalidated against kde, but opened against the driver; it is still a
bug.

Translations are always good, though this should go in the description
with the original message placed below it.

I agree with his actions here, it was very courteous to file an
upstream report. By the way I have never seen a report from a
non-Ubuntu user before :)

Looks good, good use of a stock response. However the master already
has an Importance of Medium.

Overall I think Marcus is a solid and courteous triager, and a good
asset to Ubuntu. A bug translator and a KDE triager are both things I
think we lack in proper amounts. However for these tasks, BugControl
isn't necessary. More desired Importances would have nice as that is a
large part of BugControl. I personally like to see another 3-4 bugs of
Undecided importance, with suggested importances, or maybe some bugs
to move to triaged. But overall I think Marcus is moving in a great
direction.
