Another thing we could do (on a much smaller scale than your other
suggestions but potentially useful already to the big modules) is to
finally make unconfirmed/confirmed actually be useful.  Add a
preference for whether people (mainly developers) receive email for
unconfirmed bugs (overridden if they are the reporter or on cc).  Then
maintainers don't have to be deluged with all the new emails and
follow-ups from the bugsquad.  We could also give out canconfirm
permissions more widely (automatic after receiving 5 points or
something like that?).
