Hi Alexander,

First of all, I am very sorry for this delay.

Right now the whole bug should be kept private if it has a coredump
attached. Work is in progress, though, to allow for attachments only
to be marked private.

I am sorry, but this bug is yours (you opened it). I cannot count it
as a triage work.

Agreed with importance.

Agreed on importance, but I fail to see real triage work.

Well, actually empathy is the *default* chat application nowadays...
But, anyway, I do not see much on triage from you here -- only a
comment stating you got it to work, but is unsure on what exactly you
did.

Also, just by the number of duplicates, this would be at least a
medium importance.

Agreed with importance, but I fail to see real triage work.

You are welcome.

In general, I cannot see much work in terms of triaging. For
example, marking a bug confirmed (being the single action on the bug)
does not really qualify.

Based on the bugs shown I cannot consider you qualified for
Bug-Control. As such, I vote

-1

for the moment. Please keep on working on bugs and, when you have a
selection that do show _triage_ work, please reapply.

Cheers,
