* QA update (Robinson)


    + unconfirmed bugs mostly stable, but several triagers are off to school
        + working on recruitment, and encouragement to take more responsibility
        + reaching out to the new contributors & building relationships
    + split between triage & pre-release testing ? (Michael)
        + hard to say, some do both.
    + 5x of the 3.6 MABs still left to be migrated
