My suggestion is that Walter & co. should write a simple app which would
parse IRC logs in the past few years and anaylize what are the critical
hours in the channel when there is traffic peak and then to adjust their
time of closing bugs appropriately.

Maybe, some pre-message could be generated by bot to warn in advance all
the IRC users that "we expect that in 5minutes the channel will be
bombed by the flood of closing bug reports, so it's a good time to make
a short break (toilet, snack, light drink...)".

Of course we know that without introducing penalty fees for those who
break the rule, nothing can really happen...


Sincerely,
Gour
