You may send your add-on as mail to the bug's mail address
NUMBER@bugs.debian.org, e.g.  864701@bugs.debian.org .

If you participate in a bug report, you should also subscribe to
the bug: NUMBER-subscribe@bugs.debian.org (e.g.
864701-subscribe@bugs.debian.org) so you get other people's add-ons
as mail.

It depends on the situation, whether a simple "me too" report is
of help. Often it is appropriate only if you can contribute yet
unknown information how to reproduce or how to avoid the bug.
Hardware related bugs on the other side, can well take profit from
add-on reports which simply tell affected or non-affected hardware.

Always welcome is a good theory why the bug happens.

Have a nice day :)
