Yes.  When the reporter inquired on the QA list, I recommended that he
file a bug report and put me in the cc field.  QA-contact is what
happened.

I am aware that being named as qa-contact has changed my behaviour in
a couple of ways: I have been more assertive in cutting fdo#58464 down
to just the crash than I would have been otherwise, and I have whined
here for help instead of just waiting quietly for somebody else to
move the bug report along when I do not know what to do next.

Ah, yes.  That would have been a better idea than my question to the
list.

Alas, no bright ideas here.  I just got in over my head by accident.
