Two points warrant a bit of explanation here:

(1) it is not the volume of triage as much as the quality of triage
that we look for: given that most of us are volunteers, it is
expected that we will have other things to do while we are awake --
work, study, and -- who knows -- even the pursuit of
procrastination. Your triaging shows quality :-)

(2) Nothing prohibits or inhibits triaging being followed by
debugging being followed by the eventual fix. Triaging is the hat we
worry about here; debugging is at the borderline, and fixing is a
*different* hat (that we do not worry about _for triaging_ but is
always extremely welcome).

Hey, I am not (completely) evil. I just considered Dave more than
qualified... I had told him, some time ago (months? years?) that I
would personally welcome his application, but at this point in time
I guess he was pursuing the procrastination part I refer to above,
at least on the application to Bug Control part. I was just a bit
more direct yesterday ;-)

<sigh/> Vishnoo -- and Pedro: be prepared to discuss this around
beers next UDS :->

But... back to the point:

+1

Dave should have been in already, and it is time we correct this
anomaly.

Dave: you have more than enough votes to warrant being accepted. We
now have to wait a week for additional comments. Thank you very much
for taking the time to apply, and I am very happy for that.

Cheers,
