File new, summarize the detail from the old, then mark the old as a 
dup of the new?

[off-topic]

I have seen this issue many times. The bug log fills up with tangents or 
dead trains of thought, you are on comment 116, and patch 23. Would there 
be a better way to "filter" or collapse older entries?

or is the new, sum, dup technique the best way?

We also have scheduled times where we reap bugzilla, so get a more clean 
focus on each bug.
