Seems to me if the triager is following the guidelines, they subscribed
to the bug report when marking it incomplete. If the reporter added
information, the triager then got an email notifying them that the bug
report changed. Why wouldn't they then go look at the bug report, and
verify if all information has been added, so the bug report can be
moved to triaged?
