Yes.  One of the big reasons Mozilla has a big triage base is in part 
the reward, IMO.  They pick out new people to the project who are doing 
great work with triaging or whatever and send them a shirt.  It makes 
people feel warm fuzzies, and gives them an incentive to continue 
working.  Plus, they will probably tell friends about how cool we are.
