Just to complement, in the stacktrace we would be looking for data
values that could be considered private. A stacktrace without variable
resolution is not a problem.

er. This is not triaging, this is fixing.

I think there is a misunderstanding here: Bug Control is for *triaging*
bugs -- the community team that has people that understand triage in
Ubuntu.

But you did not provide us with any example of triage knowledge. What
you have shown is more applicable to MOTU [1] than triaging: fixing
bugs.

Given that, I am giving you a 
+0
right now. I would like you to:

* reapply, showing 5 bugs that demostrate your knowledge of *triaging*.
  Note that you should also discuss what importance you would give the
  bug, and *why* (no matter if the bug already has an importance set or
  not)
* consider applying for MOTU [1]. It seems this is your direction, and
  we need the help there as well.

Cheers,

..C..

I guess the above was just a typo, not sure what Jamie has to do with
your application.
