Given that Wikimedia already employs a number of

full-time, I think the fact that this position would be full-time is really
odd.
I think a full-time position is really needed here. There are lots of
bugs filed, and it's not trivial to triage them, try to extract more
information from users, assign them to the right people, and make sure
those people fix them. Plus, the bugmeister could actually fix some
of the bugs in their spare time. Plenty of work for a full-time
position.

If you'd like to discuss this, I think the
strategy wiki is the right
spot. Not wikitech-l.
Things should be discussed wherever there are the most interested,
informed people. Developers are some of the people who are most
interested and informed about what resources are being allocated to
things like bug handling, so wikitech-l is a good place for a
discussion on this, IMO (although not the only legitimate place).
