Private bugs - mdadm

[Tim Frost]

I am one of a number of people affected by an apparent bug in mdadm.
The official master bug in launchpad is marked as private - #946758
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946758 for those who have access to
it).  My best reference (which I have subscribed to) is #946344
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/946344 ) and there
is a message associated with that bug as follows:

	Remember, this bug report is a duplicate of a private bug.
	 Comment here only if you think the duplicate status is wrong. 



From what I an tell, this bug has been around for a year, affecting
people who use RAID, but have some partitions (in my case, it is swap
partitions) that are not managed by the raid subsystem.

How can I (and other affected people) track progress [or update the
master bug report with useful information/patches/...] if the master bug
is private? 

I know that there are reasons for protecting sensitive data, but there
should be a way of creating a master bug record in Launchpad that has
the data needed to track the issue, without exposing any sensitive data.
