Is it really trivial? I can not imagine, how would you do it. A bug squad
member is supposed to spend 20 minutes a weak with his duties (bug reports,
verifying...). Maybe it seems to you to be to little, but even though there
is not enough people willing to do it. I spend 30 to 40 minutes on my days
(Wednesday and Friday) and it is usually not enough. I have to go over each
bug report I haven't seen to realise, if it was properly answered and if
tracker issue was created for it. If I had to  "listen in on bug reports
from a few key distros" I would quit "the job".
