We've been planning on doing one of these forever, but never seeming to get around to it.
The kernel gets a lot of bugs (possibly more than any other package), and as such, we've got nearly a thousand bugs open right now, and just three people working on it full-time.
The problem we've faced with triage efforts in the past is that for many bugs, the person doing the triage really needs to have at least some kernel knowledge to know what information to ask the reporter.
However, there are some basic tasks that would help us out a lot, like making sure bugs are assigned to the right people etc. There's a first pass at some 'how to' ideas at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelTriage
We'll be doing this in #fedora-kernel next Monday (22nd) I expect that the wiki page will continue to evolve as we start working on this, and perhaps this can even become a regular thing.
apologies for not helping with this; turned out to be bad timing for me, I didn't even get to decompress from Alpha last week before I had to spend three days at Linuxcon, and spent most of the weekend in a dazed heap on the couch...sorry again!
