If you want to keep it on #fedora-devel that's fine - eventually I
suspect (hope?) that bug triaging will get too big to stay there without
drowning out normal -devel work. At that point, we should move to
#fedora-qa.

Very yes. There's nothing to fix, hence the problem is solved.

Noted.

Triage + fixing is awesome but I can't speak for developers. There will
definitely be weekly triage sessions every Friday - at least US Eastern
business hours, when I'm around (~1400-2200UTC). If developers come and
help fix the low-hanging fruit, so much the better.

Feh. This wasn't just a gratuitous "Hey let's make a new list!!"
decision - we decided this in January:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2007-January/msg00104.html

Except nobody seems to be able to agree on whether we need more or less
lists, and what they should be named, and so on. I'm sick of discussing
whether we need new lists or not. 

Development is not the same as QA and I refuse to require
fedora-devel-list membership for the QA team. That's why they're
separate - to reduce apparent signal/noise problems and prevent people
who aren't developers from having to pick QA stuff out of 10,000 unread
development messages.
