<font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">Apologies in advance about not including Julien's message, I'm still not quite sure how to deal with direct email response vs. nabble response so here is my response to not needing it.</font><div>
<font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">I agree right now there isn't truly a need but as we grow I think that recognizing who is QA and who isn't will become an issue. I've been actively and aggressively seeking new QA members and I can say for sure there are at least 2-3 who have either already started basic triaging or have shown serious interest. There are also cases where I'm not quite sure if a user is QA or not (the most notable here is Sasha something who I see ALL THE TIME in FDO but I never can figure out his role....)</font></div>
<div><br></div><div><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">Maybe...just maybe....we can just start using the QA Assigned to? I don't see the need quite yet but I see that as a potential solution. This way we can also have a really clear list of who is triaging -- this will also make future "bug triaging parties" and other mass QA events much easier to coordinate with a list of email addresses and names who have helped in the past X months. </font></div>

</div> Heh ;+) in that case they need a support contract clearly ;-)<br>

</div> My suspicion is that the other freedesktop projects would hate that,<br>
and that this is something that we'd need to share with them; making it<br>
rather difficult to fix.<br>
<br>
Hence the most-annoying tracker for 'blockers' and so on - I guess we<br>
could introduce other trackers for important-but-not-MAB type things<br>
but ... there are clearly diminishing returns in interest from very long<br>
lists.<br>
