Ok, that's cool. I'm quite busy right now and at least for one week, but
I'll try to play a bit with bugzilla.

Well, I think both should be used. When I see a NEW bug, my first
thought is : "it has been triaged". So I may not look at it. It'd be
better - for me - if bugs start unconfirmed. However, it's always useful
to add the GNOME1.4 or GNOME2 keyword, and to add our bug_squad keyword
to see that we did triage it, and not someone else. This allows us to
keep track on what's happening.

One thing that would be great to have is a place where we can see the QA
guy/gal/team for each product. This would give us a better idea of who's
in Bug Squad and who's doing what. But that can wait.

Thanks for your hard work, Luis, and have a good trip

Vincent
