Workaround field for bugs

Hi everybody,
Unfortunately I missed the last IRC Meeting but I've seen on the log that Brian Murray
informed you about his research (thanks again Brian!).
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, this is the relevant links:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugsKnownWorkAround
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/54652
So, at moment around 10.000 bugs have information about workaround but the point is that
the information is not properly exposed.
One example is the bug #753971 ( http://pad.lv/753971 )
Workarounds for this bug would be:
- Log in on Classic Mode since only Unity is affected
- Downgrade unity to 3.8.10-0ubuntu2
sudo apt-get install unity=3.8.10-0ubuntu2 unity-common=3.8.10-0ubuntu2
But the information is spread on the comments, although this is a well known bug in
Natty in which many well known developers have ran into (and as far I understand this
case isn't included in Brian research because there's no workaround keyword on the
description).
So, my opinion is still that we need to improve the workaround exposition improving
launchpad itself, but I don't know where to move the next step.
Suggestions?
Ciao!
