When there are duplicate bug reports, could someone close
one of them, giving a pointer to the other?

However, duplicates would not be a problem if we
had a small number of open bug reports.  We would see
them and close them when we close the others that they match.
So duplication is not the root of the problem.

I think the problem is not enough effort to fix bugs.
