Are you saying that bug control members should focus on confirmed bugs 
and leave new bugs to other bug squad members? If so, I don't agree with 
that. It's not like there's an overwhelming number of people aspiring to 
look at bugs and confirm them. If bug control members don't mind doing 
more mundane work, let them if they want to. Above all, volunteer 
contributing should be about "scratching the itch" and focusing on work 
that one finds interesting.

Also, Confirmed status can be confused by people who have the same vague 
symptoms without the root cause (wrong resolution, no sound, etc.). And 
certain bugs (mostly kernel bugs, I think), automatically get marked 
Confirmed by a bot run by Brad Figg (which I personally find 
annoying/unhelpful). That makes it more difficult to triage bugs that 
are truly being experienced by multiple users and have the same cause.
