You are absolutely correct there. I have found myself triaging *alot* of
bugs in certain bug days. I even remember a bug day of Banshee which really
brought in an extreme level of triage from quite a lot of people.

I think it would make sense to merge #ubuntu-quality and #ubuntu-bugs as
both the groups have ultimately the same goal to improve the quality in
Ubuntu and there must be many cases where discussions in one channel
directly affects the other but same people are not on both.
