What you’re asking for here is kind of an impossible task. There is no
single workflow for the bugsquad and the way we work is already
documented at https://wiki.gnome.org/Bugsquad/

A few things we need:
* the bug tracker to be good (I know that’s vague)
* with a good search engine
* ways to sort bugs into small manageable groups (currently done with
fields like component, severity, version…)
* an easy way to find old/untouched bugs to check if they are obsolete
by trying to reproduce them or to reassign/ping someone or to ask for
a patch to be rebased…
* an easy way to find code that’s waiting for review or needs to be
rewritten (currently in attached patches but could be merge requests
or anything like that)
* reports like “top 15 modules” at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=weekly-bug-summary.html

Bonus points for:
* ability to do mass edits
* quick way to find duplicates and close them

These lists are by no means exhaustive as one could write a book about
that, hopefully that’s useful.
