I guess Option 1 seems to be mostly preferred, so I'm OK with that one.

I think we should probably discuss this with the maintainers rather than
coming to a unilateral decision on it.

I think we should ask triagers to take responsibility for following up
their own triaged bugs. We can have procedures to catch cases where this
isn't done, but I'm really not a fan, as I've written, of drive-by
triaging.

I'll do this later today, with reference to mcepl's shiny new generation
script.
