You know, > Sage and horticulture :-) We should definitely find a better name. I took the "bug-wrangler" name from the Gentoo project [1]. I'm sure other projects use different names, though I'm not familiar with anything else. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/bug-wranglers/index.xml Apparently Ubuntu has a BugSquad [2]. [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad I prefer "squad" to "wrangler," so I suggest PestSquad or TracNinja. :) Does anybody else have suggestions for a name? > > people > > who volunteer to > > > > - look at newly submitted tickets, notify the related developers, > > ask for examples and test cases if the report doesn't provide them, > > etc. > > Also make sure the newly created ticket has sufficient information to > allow people to duplicate the bug.

Thanks. As I said before, there are a few people who try to do this already as time permits. I think it would just be easier on everyone if we got organized. So let's settle on a name and get started.
