Ah, OK. This was agreed with Jesse Keating in the QA meeting this
morning, FWIW - he expressed a desire to have bugs in Anaconda that
hadn't been looked at yet checked through and put on the blocker lists
if necessary.

I was about to suggest Andy at least add herself to the Bugzappers
Components and Triagers page so we would know she is actively looking
after anaconda triage efforts, but I just looked and I see she's just
done that, so no need. :)

I guess if it's OK with her, we can just look through the list and add
appropriate bugs to the blocker lists, but not triage them otherwise in
order not to get in her way. Does that sound like a good way to proceed?
