This is probably easy to fix.

I would suggest the ROOT page for Malone not offer the 'Report a Bug' option.

It seems that the bug cropped up for me as I could only remember the Malone portion of the address. Not only this, but I was well on the way to understanding that something was wrong as I normally (although not good for a NEW bug reporter) need to file it against a package. At no point was it entirely clear that I was reporting a bug against "Malone" itself as the entire look and feel was identical to the procedure utilized to report a bug against Ubuntu itself.

If you choose to have the 'Report a bug' option under the http://www.launchpad.net/malone index page, I would suggest that the link lead you down a path that allows you to refine your bug report utilizing flow based control techniques. This would perhaps start with a "product" and progress to more fine tuned explanation.

The other option is to REMOVE that button from the Malone root page and more heavily feature the common products to report bugs against. For me, the links off of that root page are entirely small and not easy to identify.

It is _most certainly_ a design interface problem with regards to my bug. Perhaps others are in a similar boat.
