I would have thought "weed-wrangler" or "pest-wrangler". You know,
Sage and horticulture :-)

Also make sure the newly created ticket has sufficient information to
allow people to duplicate the bug. Things like linking to the original
bug report, if it exists, on any of the Sage mailing lists, providing
sample code to duplicate the bug (or weed or pest :-), make sure the
newly created ticket is not a duplicate of an existing ticket, cross
link tickets with that new ticket if possible.

I support your proposal as it is another way to encourage more people
to become familiar with the Sage library.
