History and dont me get started on the detail neither the name that was 
chosen for this nor split from regular user and other aspects of this 
coming to being which took 3 attempts.

What triagers do ( a.k.a "Bugzappers" ) is essentially fiddling with bug 
status and sometime respond to reports on the relevant components behalf 
an vision that the John's had which they have both abandon afaik.

The skill set to perform this is essentially the same as reporter thus I 
will ( as I had done on a meeting not so long ago and in the past  ) 
advocate that this will be merged back into QA community members tasks 
and the bugzapper channel on freenode be removed. ( there is bit of bad 
history in the QA community behind why that channel came to be in the 
first place which me and James work hard on eliminate when he was with 
us in QA )
