Ahmad - I agree that improving bug responsiveness can also be done from within the triage team, and that this team severely suffered from understaffing - even without additional tasks on their slate.

To get a better idea about the quantitative requirements (and an idea on the X and Y of Michael Scherrer): how many active members are there at present in the Mandriva triage team? Given the present size of the Mandriva user community (and similar activeness of team members), by what factor would you whish to increase the size of the team?

There is also a question of motivation: it is so much more motivating to work in a team where you can see the positive results of your work - if bugzilla triage and and bug handling gets a more positive image (maybe that is also an issue of internal PR), it will be easier to recruit volonteers - here lies the principal reason why I only considered to, but did not, respond to the "join the triage team" post in Mandriva. And motivation becomes even more important in the Mageia volonteer-only environment - very OK today, but tomorrow?
