For bugs reported by users that do not test builds from the master
branch, we ideally follow these steps [0]:

 - read the description of the bug against 3.10
 - if this is a bug that is (most likely) still present in the master
   branch, clone it, and have the 3.10 depend on the new mainline bug
 - developers for the component get their notifications (through [1])
 - patch for the master branch get posted, reviewed merged
 - developer checks if the patch needs a backport and acts upon it

All regular contributors should be aware of this process and do the
triaging themselves when they report a new bug. The weekly bug triage
meetings on Tuesdays should only need to handle the bugs that have not
been triaged by developers responsible for the components.

Thanks,
Niels
