Hi,

FWIW, triaging bugs counts as addressing bugs, in my opinion. I
recognize that there is a wide range of opinions as to where the bug
work should be done, but at a minimum, pointing Fedora bugs to the
appropriate upstream bug meets any definition of responsible
maintainership.
Triaging bugzilla can be a fulltime job in and of itself. In fact, Red Hat has hired
fulltime triagers before! Bugzilla can basically take as much time as someone is willing
to give it. Making sure every bug filed gets triaged and moved upstream is absolutely not
some baseline minimium measure of responsible maintainership. Everyone has priorities and
bugzilla should be slotted in appropriately. Triaging the important bugs makes sense and
is very important, but triaging every bug should be a non-goal. It's not a good use of
time compared to addressing customer issues, doing development, and fixing bugs.
Bugzilla is a tool to help the project, it's not an obligatory monkey on the back of
package maintainers.
