This bug report was Confirmed but did not have a package associated with
it - this is something I think should never happen unless it is a
needs-packaging bug report.

Come to find out there are actually 259 Confirmed and Undecided bugs
without a package - this is something we should work on reducing.  Maybe
for a bug day?

Indeed one should not confirm their own bug reports because it may be a
configuration issue or specific to your system.  I, and everyone on this
team, should have bugs Confirmed by someone else as a sanity check.

I agree with James on this application and have declined ApOgEE's
membership in the team.

Yes, we'd be happy to see you work on triaging more bug reports in the
future and are always happy to answer any questions you may have in
#ubuntu-bugs.
