Yes, that is the point and this is what should happen.

Reporting bugs is just the first step to help but triage these bugs is very
important and everyone who is part of Ubuntu GNOME QA can be involved and
IMHO should be involved. There are so many members of that team. They can
work as two groups:

Group A: Reports Bugs
Group B: Triage Bugs

That if those who can report can't help with Triage.

Again:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20triage

And:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing

As I mentioned here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gnome/2014-February/001547.html

People on our Social Media Channels are no longer interacting or responding
to our Call for Help. These calls are useless as far as I can tell.

We have:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-qa/+members

I am puzzled.
With all of those members, we could make Ubuntu GNOME the best ever, no
doubt about it. But with very few helping, well, don't expect a rock solid
system :)

If this is Greek to you, PLEASE ASK :)
Send me directly if you feel shy to ask on the list. Ping me and we can
have a direct chat or talk (Hangout or Skype). I am ready for any kind of
help and support but just be proactive and take the initiative  :)

Thanks for everything and let's move forward!
