I'm not sure I agree with this.  #ubuntu-bugs is specifically for bug
triage, whereas #ubuntu-quality seems to not have a defined topic. 
Whereas I'm likely to watch #ubuntu-bugs for people who need help with
triage, I'm not necessarily interested in most of what happens with
image testing and the issues that arise from it.  This is not to say
that I don't care, rather that I'm not necessarily going to commit my
time to such issues.
You could in theory condense #ubuntu-devel, -desktop, and -release into
quality as well as the goal is quality, but I don't see that as being
productive.
Thanks,
