I suppose I qualify as one of those "non developer volunteers" being targeted for this, and my reaction is the same as Dmitry's. I've been doing exactly what the instructions on the wiki page ask for, off and on at my own convenience, for about a year, so for me this is at best a non-event. That said, if other people want to do it, I certainly have no objections. 

The one suggestion I would make after reading the wiki page is that I really don't think it's a good idea to invite ordinary users to ask for bugzilla permissions after triaging just a couple of bugs.
