idea/thought...

Jfo, I think a wiki page with a table of 'Topics' 'subject expert' 
'triagers' or something of that nature will be helpful in managing this 
event. Each subject expert can then add wiki links to the table. We can 
expand this further with links to new kernel bugs etc. For example:

Topic            subject expert    triager       useful links
====================================================================
suspend/resume|  ManojIyer    |     joe, doe,|   http://wiki.ubuntu...
video         |  SteveConklin |     joe, doe,|   http://wiki.ubuntu...
Audio         |  BradFigg     |     joe, doe,|   http://wiki.ubuntu...
======================================================================

This way we know who exactly is signing up to triage what kind of bugs, 
and roles & responsibilities can be accurately defined. Also its a central 
place for triagers to contact subject experts and or look for wiki 
information. Each 'Topic' can be a dynamic link to a launchpad search 
query that will list latest bugs on say for example Audio, or video.

Cheers
