This sounds awesome. Having someone who cares about the bug tracker is 
extremely important. And I'm quite sure that developers will appreciate if QA 
assigns the bugs to them as that makes life much easier.

Btw. Bugzilla supports a feature called "QA contact" which is not used by 
KDE's installation. This sounds like an excelent candidate. Also I would 
suggest to make great use of the flag feature of bugzilla. E.g. when a 
developer fixed a bug he can set the flag "QA" to questionmark and once you 
verified the fix you can set it to +. That way everybody has a nice list of 
things to work on.

Cheers
Martin
