A proposal to combine quality and bugsquad teams

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

Yes, I agree with this proposal since it seems to simplify organization 
and to improve communication.

On the other hand, I would suggest to make further reference in the wiki 
to the One Hundred Papercuts project 
<https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts>, since this project is the 
ideal for newbies to involve with debugging.

Regards.
