There really is no way of getting around the fact that for a lot of
bugs (other than crash reports like kerneloops) triage by an actual
human being may be the pacing item.  If we were going to make a
concerted effort to bring more people in to do triage can we stand up
a target? Do we know how many new bugs we have filed in a typical
week? Can we make a statement that we'd like to see individual
triagers triage X number of bugs in a day or a week on average?  Can
we those sort of numbers to put a target together for a triage
recruitment push? How many people do we need triaging for our current
bug ticket churn rate right now?
