An idea for a first task for quality teams

Hello,

I've been thinking about what people who want to join quality teams can do 
when they decide to sign up. For those who aren't too sure, it might be an 
idea to point to one task in particular that they could jump into easily, to 
prevent people from feeling keen, signing up to the list and then not really 
having a feeling of direction.

After reading the latest KDE traffic, it struck me that tackling Bugzilla for 
each app might be a good candidate. It would be a very valuable task for the 
developers, it would be easy for people to jump into, and it wouldn't be a 
long term committment.

Specifically they could:

- Find obviously redundant bugs
- Check all outstanding bugs, possibly e-mailing reporters, to see if they are 
still a problem
- Sort through wishlist items and correlate them with a TODO list

So that for each app that gets adopted, developers can be given on a plate a 
clear overview of where Bugzilla says their work should be focused.

Thoughts?
Tom
