I hope that you could see that this doesn't scale very well, and 
some kind of a process needs to be established to shape and 
direct the efforts. Some thoughts/suggestions:
- Weekly meeting to review open bugs, adjust their components and 
priority appropriately, and assign to potential owners (those who 
can or likely to fix the bugs. Owners can then reassign or 
unassign if not interested).
- Maybe ask someone to volunteer for triaging bugs in each 
component. So every component has an owner.
- If a bug has been assigned to someone and hasn't received any 
attention (i.e. remained open for say 3 months), a bot should 
unassign it so that it returns back to the triage pool, hoping 
that it will catch the attention of the triage volunteers.

What do you think? Do you agree that a process is needed?
