Discussed at the meeting, but to recap - yes, jlaska and I periodically
check CommonBugs-marked bugs. It doesn't really exist to motivate
developers (though if it does, that's an added bonus). It mainly exists
for two reasons: as a way to request a bug be added to CommonBugs if you
don't want to do it yourself (and also for people who edit CommonBugs to
make a quick 'mental note' to add a bug in future), and it also helps
if, say, you're subscribed to a bug, see that it gets fixed, and then
notice that it's marked CommonBugs with a URL, so there's a Common Bugs
entry which should be updated to reflect that the bug's been fixed.
