In order to join ubuntu-qa you have to show experience with bug triaging. So once again, this is a new barrier to entry for people that want to fix bugs. Bug triaging and bug fixing are two different things. What you propose is like a layer violation in protocol design. I'm glad these changes aren't being imposed immediately, but I don't that they are worth any (even small) discouraging of new volunteers to implement. BTW, driving people who have no interest in triaging to join so they can set status on bugs they are fixing also imposes additional workload on bdmurray (the approver for ubuntu-qa) for no real benifit to him. IMO it's a solution in search of a problem. I have yet to see anyone set a bug to in progress that wasn't actually working on it.
