Yeah, that sounds like it would work.

I still think it would be a good idea to have one or two people actively
in charge of the overall health of the bug repository --- cross-linking
duplicate bugs, making sure fixed bugs get closed out, in general
correcting misinformation when they find it. This wouldn't be a large
time commitment AFAICS, but without somebody applying pressure in the
right direction I think that the general quality of information in
the database would inevitably slide downhill.
