yeah, it was me :) Indeed I think we should use the weekly time for
meetings for all this stuff. Thus, people know that every Thursday there
is a chance to volunteer for something. We could have normal meetings
every 2 weeks and the other 2 use the time slot (or a bigger slot) for
bug triaging, patch upstreaming, etc

But what I think we really need is to create some sort of "teams". That
is a bug triaging team dedicated to organise the bug triaging, a patch
upstreaming team, etc. All those with a couple of people responsible for
getting the work done, creating pages on the wiki with information,
driving the bug/patch/etc days, etc. If we get these to be ongoing
projects, rather than just once in a while, it should be easier and more
productive to manage.
