I have quite a lot of experience with them in the GNOME project and have dropped in on a couple of the Mozilla ones. Whether or not they work depends on what you are trying to achieve. Sometimes they go great, other times (for the same project, just another week), because of the way the planets are aligned, they seem to waste a few hours without achieving much. Bug "days" work well as a concerted triage effort and for generating repeatable test cases. There are other things that could be done like checking that anything marked as a patch has documentation and test cases where appropriate and that it still applies, etc. Also verifying that all the relevant information has been supplied (if you can't repeat something, you need to work out what is different between the reporter's system and yours) and following up on bugs where info has been requested and not supplied. If there was interest in doing this (which is a cop-out, because until we organise one, there won't be interest), I would be willing to organise it. As I mentioned in the reply to Chris, I'll write a more Django-targeted version of some of the GNOME guidelines for the wiki as a start anyway (see http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/TriageGuide and the links at the top right of that page for the sorts of things that have been written over the past few years. There is a *lot* of experience behind that writing).
