Keeping in mind that Launchpad automatically marks bugs as Confirmed
that have received a duplicate Confirmed bugs may actually be a better
starting point than New bugs.  Because although the bug is Confirmed
this may have been done automatically and there may be missing
information in the bug report.

It is also possible to order a group of bug tasks by the date they were
confirmed so one could create a table of bugs with the most recently
confirmed at the top.
