This is great work!  I particularly like the fact that you have modified
the description of the bug report and linked to an upstream bug report.
Both of these are very helpful.

Again this is fantastic work and I really like the verbosity of your
comments.  I think the more verbose we can be the more we educate bug
reporters and help future readers of the bug reports.

I agree with the end result here, Fix Released for openoffice.org, but
not because it is fixed in LibreOffice.  While Ubuntu is now using
LibreOffice I think the LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org bug tasks should
be treated separately.  So ideally this bug would have a LibreOffice
task that is Fix Released (or maybe Invalid since we aren't sure it
existed in LibreOffice) in addition to a Fix Released OpenOffice.org bug
task.  Having said that I'm not certain the additional LO task would
provide much value.

This seems fine.

This looks pretty good, however it seems to be missing a
regression-release tag as the original reporter indicated that this
worked on Lucid with OpenOffice.org but does not with Maverick.  I've
added this tag now.  Its also unfortunate that the text regarding the
regression is not in the bug description any more.

Reviewing the work you've listed in your application and some of your
other work that I've seen, I am happy to approve your membership in the
Ubuntu Bug Control team.  Thanks for helping out and welcome!

By the way I noticed that your comments and modifications of the bug
descriptions seems very regularly formatted.  Are you using any tools to
help you perform bug triage?
