address@hidden asked

   Why would those people not worry that their efforts are duplicated
   right now?

Because right now people expect to make duplicate reports, and then,
usually, only one person works on the problem.  When reporting and
fixing are combined in a `fast' group, then those in the `slow' group
may not bother either to report or to volunteer to do something.
