>From my point of view, fixing bugs is not one of the intended (primary)
activities for QA team developers. Nor is it a "supporting task" by
definition; supporting tasks are something that are either highly
recommended or otherwise generally help you get the main goal filled.

Of course, developers in the QA team might and most likely will fix
bugs. By that definition, anybody who fixes a bug is a member of the QA
team. That itself defeats the purpose of specifying the "QA team"
developer role.

Hope that helps you understand why I dropped the activity.
