I can say that I've been doing it on Jira and this is very true. You learn a lot without even asking the core devs to explain you things. It is an self teaching process but at the same time it does require some dedication. Above all it requires will.

You are correct you will learn a lot by doing that task.
Many of us, including Brian, started as "Bug marshals" and learned a lot in that process in the old Asterisk days.

And see where we ended up, with piles of our own created bugs implemented in a 
massive amount of source code... :-)

Yes, you learn a lot and contribute a lot working with the bug tracker. It's a good way to start contributing
to a project.

I suspect that working in Jira is it's own reward in terms of
knowledge acquisition.

Dig in and let us know what you find.


Best,
