A bigger triage team without a higher number of devs/packagers fixing bugs isn't gonna change the situation that much
Michael Scherrer also insisted on this - I have been somewhat naive, I now realise that this is a/the key issue.
Let me continue with the luxury of naivity: the triage team should not be let suffer silently in the background, but the "management" should make this a concern of distro policy. And, nevertheless: if the triage team (or ...) would have a little bit more breath (more active workers) for going beyond just distributing bugs among developpers, plus a "mandate" from management to lean on and prompt developpers, that should also be helpful.
To avoid overdramatising and comment on your first reply: before Mageia showed up, I have passed a lot of time on "distro - sniffing": compared to the distros I tried, and in my very subjective aperception, Mandriva Linux has a quite low rate of severely annoying bugs. Nevertheless, here is an issue to be addressed.
