0.02 Euros: for small, non-distributed dev teams: reporting bugs to the
mailing list seems to work well in my experience. The sqlite3 team takes
reports from the mailing list and one of the devs enters (or not) the
report into the bug tracker. In the fossil project (run by sqlite3's
author) we do the same (anonymous bug reports were disabled due to the very
high noise:info ratio). Since those particular dev teams are relatively
small (not sure how many actively work on sqlite3, but on fossil fewer than
10 people regularly commit), this method seems to cut the bug-noise and
duplicate entries to essentially 0.

For large and/or truly distributed projects i'm hoping that someone
following this thread can make some good suggestions.
