There's a guy on my team (of 12 people) in Apple that literally does nothing but screen bugs. I think he screened 100 bugs last week and there are still hundreds more unscreened. It's really hard to keep track of.

There's literally a team of people that send bugs to the appropriate group, where there are other people to do secondary screening…

Other people are saying "Apple must get thousands of reports of dubious quality". If that's true I'd expect O(100) reports screened per day? I guess automated screening roots out lots of them?

This is for one feature that's not even that big - this is not just randomly screening bugs, this is screening all the bugs that get assigned to us.
