This might work for them - though I'd have no idea if it actually _does_ 
- not sure how many people in QA could be set to this. I know I can't 
set aside specific times to do anything.

Do they have a team made up of a a small number like the QA team?

To make sensible decisions based on some other group of people, I'd need 
to see various stats to contrast.

Not really sure what would be gained by adding another level of intricacy.

Who are the Canonical Platform QA Team members?
