The thing is, at any given time there are probably a hundred or more
bugs assigned to arch teams with people whining for attention. At least
two thirds of those whines are unhelpful and serve no purpose.
Filtering out the legitimate calls for attention would take even more
time away from fixing the things.

So, unless you can recruit somebody *good* to let the arch teams know
which bugs should be prioritised, the only thing that increasing
communication would do is decrease the number of bugs that get fixed.
