So please take a few minutes to look through the listed bugs. For each bug, decide if you agree with the suggested priority, and consider if you can add to the discussion in the bug, suggest somebody who might be able to work on it, or even take it on yourself.

Note also that these email threads are substituting for face-to-face meetings where basic agreement can be achieved quickly and obviously. In contrast, on mailing lists it is harder to reach agreement like this, particularly because the bar for response is higher and it is traditional to avoid responding with simple "I agree" messages. Nonetheless, for these triage threads we specifically encourage this kind of response. In particular, if you agree with all the suggestions a simple "+1" response is helpful. Without such responses, it is likely that there will be few responses and the triage manager -- who took the time to write the message that starts the thread -- won't know if it's because (a) everybody agrees with their suggestions, or (b) nobody looked at the bugs, or (c) nobody cares, and this is discouraging.
