I can only say that in my own sheriffing experience that this is utterly
untrue, and having two people at once is amazingly helpful since we can
track down different problem areas; one working on purify and valgrind
errors while another works on layout tests. There has never been a time in
such cases where we both did nothing because we thought the other person was
working on it; we were always pinging each other and dividing work on the
fly.
I don't think Chromium team members are so irresponsible that they would not
work out some system in such cases. And part of the point is that it would
be nice to be able to get a _little_ bit of work done on the days you're
sheriffing, or go to lunch, or whatever.
