FTR, there are several moderators, so you cannot expect that both
reports have been seen by the same moderator (honestly, I don't
remember the case)

Furthermore, we don't decide on the contents. If something looks like a
valid bug report we approve, whatever it is about. No further checks on
duplicates or alike, that would exceed our limited resources.

I don't feel offended :-)

Anyway, what we do is manual, human work. Do you recommend to hand over
moderation to ChatGPT? :-)

Best regards, Michael.
