Actually, there is one, I forgot to mention it: we can have 'qa' inherit
'fedorabugs', which would give all QA members 'editbugs' privileges.

We're part of Fedora, not some kind of independent entity. Having
fedorapeople space is a useful thing for QA members. Being able to vote
in elections is a useful thing for QA members. Currently, you have to
find some other way to get yourself added to a group in order to get
those things, which means you have to apply to some other group or find
someone with moderator privileges for a group and persuade them to add
you, just so you can 'game the system'. Why is it a bad thing if we just
put QA people in the QA group so they can have access to those things?

Could you please explain what advantage we're giving ourselves by not
putting people in a FAS group?
