According to the article, XFS developer Darrick Wong (at least) believes these fuzzers should do a lot more than triage - he thinks they should debug (i.e. diagnose the bugs).

(Or maybe that's what you meant, but triage normally is a metaphor for the battlefield medicine practice of sorting patients into priority order based on prognosis, and I don't think sorting the bugs would satisfy Darrick Wong at all).

Sorting and deduplication could certainly help though. Probably not a *solution*, but I'd consider it progress. Such triage also helps less experienced developers have a shot at fixing it too.

I know there are certainly issues on the projects I work on that I've done the "here's where the code that needs changed lives" diagnosis publicly and sometimes contributors step up to actually do the work.
