I think reporting and triage are two separate processes that are
carried out by two intersecting sets of people. I think there's a good
argument for two separate pages.

If not, it must be /extremely clear/ that they are two separate
processes carried out by different people, otherwise the naive bug
reporter may attempt to triage their own bug.

I do agree there should only be 1 bug *reporting* page though.

See above. I don't think that necessarily follows. Bug reporting could
be and should be from anyone. Bug triage will be a smaller set of
people.
