Not really clear, indeed. We will make it clearer. Sorry.

In terms of special privileges for bug work, no, there is no difference
in joining (or not) BugSquad. If you want to move on to BugControl,
then... yes, you should first join BugSquad. Bug access privileges start
to be available on BugControl, and one of the requirements to join
BugControl is to have a track record on BugSquad work.

You might look at it this way: when you join the Ubuntu BugSquad, the
princical message you are passing is that you are really interested in
helping triage bugs.

Good question :-)

Thank you,
