 From this point of view you might be right. But it's not the whole story.
To me bugdays are fix dates where chances seem to be higher to get 
personal support by core members. You pick a bug, ask your questions in 
the irc channel, create a changeset, push it to gerrit, then come back 
to irc and ask for reviews. If everything works well, the changeset is 
merged and the bug is resolved the same day. Having that kind of success 
motivates people to contribute.
