If I search for a bug and it is resolved as a duplicate but the original bug 
is still open (or, it is also a duplicate and its original is open, etc) then 
the original should be found by the query and listed before the duplicated (or 
even instead of). This would make it easier to find some bugs.

Reassigning bugs that I'm not actively working on to the default component owner
in order to try to make some sanity out of my personal buglist.  This doesn't
mean the bug isn't being dealt with, just that I'm not the one doing it.  If you
are dealing with this bug, please assign it to yourself.

In other words - join a list of bugs duped to a unclosed bugs, with results of outright open bugs that match the same search criteria.  

An alternative, minimal solution is just *not* list bugs that dupe to closed bugs - no other information required.  And don't list bugs closed dupe when the open bug is also in the list (because it matched the search criteria).  The goal simply being to list only bugs that resolve to open issues.  This would help cut research time.

Calvin, you still there?  I resisted the temptation to file a new bug cause my original thinking doesn't require listing the duped bug. Still might file a new bug anyway.
