I think bug days are a good idea. We've had them sporadically in the
past, but never weekly. We stopped mostly because people stopped
showing up.

If we think we have critical mass again, or if it makes more sense to
run one during the RC period, then let's do it.

So... Who would show up for a bug day if we ran one?
