I think a better idea would be to add a new type of contributor - maybe something like QA Testers, who can - reproduce a bug - apply contributed patches - confirm bug is fixed Then the developers would just have to review the code. Currently, each developer has to do their own QA for each bug. I'll put this idea on the agenda for a future admin meeting.
