That sounds like the sort of details that should go in the existing bug
report to help clarify it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/activity-log-manager/+bug/967056

Colin, do you want to do that so that you can express it in your own
words? Otherwise I'm happy to add more details to the comments so that
the developers understand the nature of the problem. I should probably
install activity-log-manager so that I can see for myself what the whole
thing is about :-)
