I think the best is to reassign the bugs after a defined period if the 
bugsquad team can't keep up with the backlog. I probably can't keep up with it 
either then, but maybe I'll spot some important bug along the way more easily 
if they are reassigned. If it is possible, I would prefer if bugs that are 
awaiting feedback from the reporter (for example because the backtrace was 
totally unusable or because the description was unclear) can be kept longer 
before reassigning then.

About the wishes: In my experience, 80% of those are duplicates. There have 
been so many wishlist reports that now every crazy idea has a bug report for 
it somewhere. at least for KMail :)

And finally, thanks to all of you, you have been doing great work and made my 
live as a developer easier. It's only a bit sad that I can't deal with the 
bugs that do come through properly, as I barley have time to fix them. Too 
many bugs for too few developers. But still, your team is doing very useful 
and important work.

Regards,
Thomas
