changing descriptions, upstream bug-handling

Hi all,
        Coupld of things which I wanted to mention :-

A.  I had set up a bug-report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/deluge-torrent/+bug/119995
which was subsequently changed by somebody named Marco Rodrigues & is
something very different than what I had reported. Now there is no way
I or anyone can perceive . There is a very small/thin description
called view the original description. What should be a better way is
to somehow tag it to the person who made the changes , something like

Bug Description : Details
Changed/updated by :  person who updated the bug description
Original Description : Name of person who originally filed the bug
View Original Description (hotlink)

I'm no designer hence this is a very ugly way to present it but
atleast the logic & reasoning is clear. Of course dunno how it would
work in cases where the bug description went through many changes .
(dunno if there are such cases also? )

B. A way to see what changes/comments were made up-stream . The same
bug https://bugs.beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deluge-torrent/+bug/119995
, as I had filed the upstream bug as requested by Sarah Hobbsee (hope
I get the spelling right this time) ,  the upgrade has entered into qa
(testing) but somehow this isn't reflected in launchpad. Can these
changes be reflected or not?

Cheers !
