I don't understand the people from QA to be better, but I think that if
a developer needs help to fix a bug and sends an email to debian-devel
the chance of answer seems less than if he would write to debian-qa. I
think so, because the QA Team tries to improve the quality, which also
means bugfixing, and understands better the importance of this problem.
On debian-devel is more traffic and so the chancen for an answer are in
my opionion less than here. That's why I think it isn't a bad idea, but
I'm not sure how good.
Cheers
