The Bug Squad team could benefit from having more active management. Howver, the Tester role needs to be expanded or perhaps a new role added. As Dave said, people on the Bug Squad do not always run dev releases. Many are still on precise, triaging bugs there. And I think bug triage should be called out as a separate activity.
