Proposal to merge #ubuntu-quality and #ubuntu-bugs

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Thanks for the lovely chat on irc Omer. I wish you the best on your 
efforts to help the bug squad. As we spoke about, while our end goals 
are similar (as with all the ubuntu teams), our focus is different and 
should remain separate to allow us to work effectively.

Cheers,

Nicholas
