It should be easy to navigate to "My Bugs" from the Bugs front page

Bug Description

Looking at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/>

Figure out how to get to the bugs you're interested in is anything but obvious. There should be a prominent "My Bugs" type link directly on this page.

The original reporter suggested that should take you to a page like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describeuser.cgi and suggested having an option to display bugs that were marked as duplicates (with a link pointing to the "original") also.

(The specific case of bugs reported by me is bug 29903.)

I disagree with this being "Wishlist". describeuser.cgi presents some
very useful information, and offers some useful insight into how we
might improve the personal bug reports we currently have.

I'd consider this at least Medium priority.

kiko, mpt, thoughts?

I (of course) consider being more important than a "will be implemented from the wishlist... someday, when we are bored".

This is the main reason malone feels so awkward to me. It takes a really longer time to find the content I was watching over. Just my opinion, but I feel lots of other bug reports are pretty annoyed with the fact that it is very difficult and slow (I had to figure out some trickery with advanced search) to go back where you left your work last time.

There's a link right at the top of at https://launchpad.net/malone to "Assigned Bug Reports - view the bugs assigned to you". There should be a complementary link below (or above) that link to see the bugs you reported. The one is just as important as the other, no?

You don't want _only_ the bugs you have reported! You also want the bugs you are simply watching (subscribing to).

I'll let kiko adjust the severity on this one as he thinks is appropriate, but it seems criminal to leave it as Wishlist. :P

Graeme, thank you! I hadn't realized I could show all bugs that I was subscribed to/reported by until now. I was about to report this deficiency and wanted to avoid a dupe report.

To all, may I suggest this box of status selectors (i.e., Assigned, Reported, Subscribed, etc.) have some sort of label such as "Show my bugs that are ...". Although it seems painfully obvious now, I completely missed this in many hours of Malone use and thought it to simply be feature incomplete.
