The first part sounds like a bugzilla-screening team. I think, we have some people there (who might also be on our opensuse-testing ML), but things could be improved (faster, getting more bugs to the right people, triage) The openFATE part might be missing atm, so that many fate requests just lie around without people that could be interested knowing. I could imagine that we make tools to help those tasks (could be hosted on the openQA server).
