I am having doubts the bug triage team will be able to judge on whether
a PR is legitimate or not but on trivial cases. 

I.e. I would expect them to end up spam essentially filtering.

To whom? 

IMO, the real problem is getting a competent volunteer involved who is
likely sufficiently knowledgeable about a particular issue. i.e. to
communicate such issues, such that a volunteer can take action when _he_
wants.

That said, I consider lack of communication and "bug arbitration" to be
the actual flaw behind current bug tracking workflow in Fedora.
