Great!  I've seen your name in quite a few bug comments.

This looks good to me and I agree with the importance.  However, the
fixability of a bug should not be a factor in the importance.  Critical
bugs can have easy fixes too.

This looks good to me - thanks for finding the relevant upstream bug
report.  Unrelated - its weird that the bug watch shows Confirmed but
the applet shows New.  Anybody know that Launchpad bug?

I don't see any work that you've done on this bug report - I always
thought people would send in bug reports that they've worked on but
maybe it is not clear on the application.  What do you think?

I agree that it can be set to Triaged though.  With regards to the
importance because this is a regression I think the importance should be
bumped to Medium though.

This looks good to me.  By the way the link to source code line number
is really neat too - I don't think I've seen that before.

This one isn't particularly interesting but I agree with the importance.

Based off some of the bugs mentioned here and the other work of yours
that I've seen I'm happy to endorse your membership to the Bug Control
team.  We'll give some other members time to review your application and
get back to you next week.

Thanks again for applying!
