Sorry for jumping the gun - figured this would be an easy thing the change back if people started -1ing. Also don't think we necessarily need all components to work the same. I'm specifically only interested in the components that I do triage on: Android, iOS, Mobile Spec, JS, Plugins.
Jesse - What's your rationale for wanting it to stay the way it was before? (I've changed the windows ones back) Joe - I also spend a lot of time triaging bugs as they come in. I've been doing it for many months now. I think it's fine for anyone to triage, because often the best person to do so changes depending on the bug. I actually think having an explicit triage step will make our project seem more alive, since people will see action taken on their bugs (adding an assignee). Marcel - I like your JIRA states that you've listed out. I think it's important for JIRA to contain this amount of state for the components that have several people in different places working on them.
