I was just going though the "accepted bugs" board and there is over 70 pages of bugs then I decided to see what bugs where in the "Confirmed/Planning to address" board and there is a scant 5 threads. As a software developer my self I know that bugs come in way faster then you can repair them but with over 1400 bug reports accepted that is a very low ratio of confirmed vs accepted. I was hoping maybe some more insight could be given on this hole process works. Right now we know it is:
1. User reports bug
2. reports gets accepted/rejected
3.?????
4. Bug moved to confirmed/working as intended
6.Patch
7. Bug moved to fixed

I would love to know things like the process of confirming a bug, is there a dedicated team to testing out reported bugs, a dedicated bug fix team or is it the same team that develops the next content, what type of bugs get priority over others, is anyone just doing the "low hanging fruit" bugs (i.e. a bug that would take just a few hours to fix and test), ect.
