Yes. I'm not a member of any groups. So, I think you're saying I should
become a member of those groups :)

Well, no I'm not a developer, err, I am, but not in the Ubuntu context.
If I'm working on a bug in say dosfstools, or gphpedit, then there is no
need for another developer to spend time duplicating my work. To be
accurate, I've not released any actual fixes (yet), so I've not had a
problem where I needed to submit a fix.
So to say that nobody is working on the fix, sort of makes me a nobody :-)
Perhaps a better question for me to ask is:
"Do I need to become a member of any specific groups to fix bugs in
Ubuntu?"
