Hi,

My first thought is that patch review and bugzilla cleaning are open-ended
tasks worked on between the bugsquad and maintainers throughout the process.
It sure needs more *attention*, but I'm not sure it needs more *process*,
which is what the schedule and release team do. ;-)

So I would kinda back away from enshrining these things in process (*unless*
the bugsquad wants it!), but we really do need to figure out a good way to
encourage these things. Perhaps the bugsquad could pay special attention to
patch bugs on certain bug days?

[ This is not a final answer, only my opinion, etc. :-) ]

Thanks,

- Jeff
