I don't know if Sugar Labs has a best place yet.

Greg Smith has offered to see how he can develop processes to scale up
his work as 'bug herder' at GPA to work with other deployments.

Please prepare yourself for some delay related frustrations.  As the
first SoaS-Strawberry deployments, my guess is that you, Caroline,
Walter, and Greg are going to find a _huge_ number issues which will
need to be converted into bug report, fixed, and pushed back down
stream.  It is going to take a lot of work by community participants
to make that happen.
