Henrik,

One things that you may want to consider as you revamp the debugging
wiki is forming a number of teams to deal with specific sets of
packages.

Getting one's head around the 20,000+ issues in LP is pretty daunting.
We have had good success by forming the Mozillateam, grabbing a subset
of packages, and working on them.  These new teams have a couple of good
advantages:
1.  The teams are young.  This helps reduce the oldguy-newguy tension in
integrating new members into established teams.
2.  The teams are small.  Several smaller team with a sharper focus can
be more effective than a more general team.
3.  Many of the core Ubuntu packages have a dedicated Canonical
developer.  This developer can evolve into the lead developer for the
team.  This can help leverage the developers knowledge and experience.

Off hand, a couple of areas such as openoffice and voip seem ready for
functional teams.

Maybe Jono has some additional ideas on this.

thanks
