Indeed, there are a lot of things in Nova that require a bit of special expertise / setup to triage, and that would be deciphered best by a subgroup.

I generally use tags on New bugs I don't understand to attract the attention of specialists in that area. For example, "lxc" from LXC-specific stuff, "securitygroup" for security groups, or "xen" for.. well.. Xen. And I'd like to encourage everyone to use the "rootwrap" tag when they get onto a bug that I would probably triage in an instant.

Then developers can look for New bugs with the tags that they're experts with and help where they bring the most value, rather than randomly.

I'd say that we need someone to coordinate that, a Nova bug master if you want. I used to have enough time to (admittedly badly) fill that role, triaging and routing bugs, but you can tell by the graph that since February I don't have enough free time for that anymore. We need someone that would advocate for triaging, organize events, identify experts, create tags and encourage their use, control members of the nova-bugs team, catch the corner cases and raise priority for critical issues... This is critical for Nova to reach the next step in quality: anyone up for the job ?
