There is no reason or explanation as to why this should be a bug - this
should be explained in more detail.

Good with debugging, but should be set to Incomplete as we are waiting
for a response from the reporter. Importance fine.

Don't believe this is a bug, maybe it should have been changed to a
Question? Importance fine.

Although reproduced, no explanation of which versions it was tested in,
was this fixed in a later release? Low importance not medium - not a
core application and can be worked around easily.

This Wishlist was already reported upstream in GNOME bugzilla as stated
in the GNOME tracker report, this should be linked to the original - is
this a duplicate on LP? Importance fine - wishlist.

+0 - quite a few errors I think, but with more practice and a re-read of
the Bugs/Status, Bugs/Importance, and the Debugging Procedures I believe
this person *could* be accepted into Bug Control, but unfortunately I do
not believe the user is apt at triaging just yet. Keep trying
though! :-)
