The Moblin bugzilla (and maybe others) has an interesting feature: It has a "file new bug for <product>" link at the end of a page when you search for bugs in <product>. If a developer wants to make sure that users actually read existing bugs reports before filing new ones, linking directly to the query (=the search results) in the bugtracker field wouldn't, IMHO, not only be acceptable, but even better than directly linking to the "enter new bug" form.

what's your opinion?

(I think there's no such "enter new bug"-link in the search results on bugs.maemo.org)
