Whoever said that the bug triagers could not contribute to -devel-discuss? For that matter, whoever said that they do not do so already?We also discussed what the solution should be. ScottK is going to mail the ubuntu-devel-discuss with the proposal that we came up with. If that is accepted then the changes will be announced here.I am not quite sure I understand. So the proposal will be discussed by developers without input from triagers? Frankly, I do not agree. Since I think this will start another heavy discussion, I am also copying ubuntu-devel-discuss here. But, certainly, alienating bug-squad is not right. ..hggdh..

But really, isn't the job of the bug squad to get bugs into a good state of triage, so they can be dealt with by the developers? Does it not make sense, therefore, to listen to what the developers want the bug squad to do to the bugs, in a general sense, and then for the bug squad to go away and deal with the specifics?
I don't think the bug squad should have the right to say "we will make the rules, everyone else must follow them", as, while there are many bug squad people (yes, developers are still bug squad too), the bug squad does not put real bugs (ie, not invalid, etc) in a final state, so someone always has to come after them, and touch the bugs afterwards. This is not the case for developers.
For those who are interested in getting the bugs into a final, finished state, in the bug squad, you may want to look at becoming developers yourselves.
Just my AUD $0.02, from another fellow member of the bug squad and developer Hobbsee
