The idea behind the program was to extend it to all architectures. I'm |
| 19 |
sure every architecture has at least one or two users that provide very |
| 20 |
good feedback and are willing to help, but aren't necessarily able to |
| 21 |
dedicate the time to being a full-fledged arch developer. An AT |
| 22 |
basically has elevated privileges in bugzilla, allowing them to make |
| 23 |
changes to bugs to allow their respective developers to get work done |
| 24 |
easier and quicker. |

This idea really should be extended, as it seems to have had very |
| 29 |
positive results with the amd64 team. |
