From my point of view, fixing bugs is not one of the intended (primary)
activities for QA team developers. Nor is it a "supporting task" by
definition; supporting tasks are something that are either highly
recommended or otherwise generally help you get the main goal filled.
Of course, developers in the QA team might and most likely will fix
bugs. By that definition, anybody who fixes a bug is a member of the QA
team. That itself defeats the purpose of specifying the "QA team"
developer role.
At some point in time the Bug Squad, who handled the responsibility of
fixing bugs, was asked to merge with the Quality team.
But this merge was not fully done, and now seems that now is somehow
unclear if the Bug Squad is still active and who holds the
responsibility of what.
If you visit <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad> the page looks like
heavily unmaintained; with a meeting scheduled to a past date, broken
links in the header, and a notice that asks users to join the Quality
team instead.
I'll note when this occurred we also defined roles for the team,
including the bug triager role:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/BugTriager. You'll find the more
traditional activities of the bug squad under that role. As others
mentioned, actually fixing the bug in question was never a requested
task of the bugsquad, though I'm sure many have done so.
