Replying to [comment:2 abitofmind]:
> The contributors may have extra specializations A, B, C in addition to
the X, Y, Z which are needed for the current issue.
Indeed, but that should not stop them from contributing to tickets with a
particular focus. Perhaps “ticket focus” would be a better label here?
> And again no person or issue on this world has focuses. Ugly plural!
It's interests, specializations, etc. But a focus is a single point!
That's a natural science fact.
I might be missing something, but a few popular dictionaries all list
“focuses” as a valid plural of “focus”:
* [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/focus Wiktionary: focus]
* [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/focus Merriam-Webster:
focus]
* [https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/focus Cambridge
Dictionary: focus]
* [https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/focus Collins
English Dictionary: focus]
* [https://grammarhow.com/focuses-or-foci/ Grammarhow: Focuses or Foci –
What is The Plural of “Focus”?]
